The 2011 “e” inc. pilot learning center, The Learning Room, was featured in the Bay State Parent
A NEW Hands-on
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE MUSUEM
blooms in Boston
How can you measure a blue whale in the city?
Well, at The Learning Room, kids do it with rope, a very long rope.
This tiny museum is on a mission even bigger than a whale: The Learning Room wants to teach kids how to protect the Earth through knowledge, practical tips and imparting a love of nature.

KIDS GREEN THEIR SCHOOLS
A Residency Program of “e” inc.
In 2010, “e” inc. began a pilot program to look at ways children in K-8 settings could participate in conserving resources at their school. Now, in 2012, we have expanded the program to 8 schools in Greater Boston.
As with all “e” inc. efforts, this model begins with dynamic science as the spark of motivation and culminates in a completed action project by every participating classroom. Action projects focus on the conservation of one key resource challenge – this year either energy or solid waste -- and aims to reduce each school’s overall footprint.
These in-school residencies pair an “e” inc. science educator at each school. We remain there for 12 weeks teaching 6 lessons to every 3, 4, and 5 grade classroom at each site. Kids Green their School is taking place in 8 schools and is funded by support from NSTAR Electric and Gas and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
The schools we are seeing this year are:
In Boston: The Warren Prescott, Charles Sumner, Henderson Inclusion, Gardner Pilot, Hurley K-8, Harvard Kent Elementary, Ellis Mendell School.
In Somerville: The Kennedy School
 "e" inc. Teen Green Team expands and receives new funding!
The Mattapan-based Teen Green Team program has begun its fourth year by launching a new community team.
Since October, “e” inc. educator Andrew Thai has been bringing leadership training, science learning, and community assessment to a group of 10 boys ages 14-15. The team is currently working to engage the adults in the abutting housing sites as leaders in the community farm the teens began last year. Stay tuned on our progress.
