On Sunday, May 1st, my wife and I attended a fundraising benefit for Life Lab, a science-based educational program for young people located in a "garden classroom" at the University of California at Santa Cruz, and specifically at the UCSC Farm and Garden.I respectfully suggest that local parents and grandparents consider hooking up their particular young people (ages 5-18, more or less) with one of the many Life Lab programs. I was moved by the dual emphasis of the Life Lab approach, as illuminated in presentations by both teachers and students: Life Lab teaches a deep appreciation of the natural world, which is the ultimate support for all living things - including human beings. And Life Lab also aims to teach all involved about our ability to change our own lives - and thus to change the world for which we are responsible, the human world that we create.
No kidding. Great program! The name is perfectly descriptive: Life Lab.
Thank you! Super post.
