New York Sun Works, founded in 2004, is a non-profit organization that uses hydroponic farming technology to educate students and teachers about the science of sustainability. To further this goal, NY Sun Works created the ''Greenhouse Project'',〔Kerri MacDonald, “On a School Rooftop, Hydroponic Greens for Little Gardeners,” ''New York Times'', Nov. 22, 2010 (http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/22/on-a-school-rooftop-hydroponic-greens-for-little-gardeners/?ref=nyregion&_r=0).〕 an initiative dedicated to improving K through 12 grade〔Clean Plates, ''Schoolhouse Rocks: The Greenhouse Project'', http://nyc.cleanplates.com/news/greenhouse-project/#.VS6YrvnF_bw (April 15, 2015).〕 environmental science education through the lens of urban agriculture, empowering children to make educated choices about their impact on the environment. The ''Greenhouse Project'' was inspired by NY Sun Works’ first project, the renowned Science Barge; a prototype, sustainable urban farm and environmental education center previously housed on the Hudson River and now located in Yonkers under different ownership.〔Groundwork Hudson Valley, ''FAQs'', http://www.groundworkhv.org/programs/science-barge/faqs/ (April 15, 2015).〕 == Partnerships == As of early 2015, NY Sun Works has 19 partner schools with completed Greenhouse Classrooms and 30 more in development,〔Sophie Shrem, ''Yard Members, New York Sun Works, Get Ready to Host 7th Annual Greenhouse Project Benefit'', The Yard, http://workattheyard.com/yard-members-new-york-sun-works-get-ready-to-host-7th-annual-greenhouse-project-benefit/ (April 15, 2015).〕 well on their way to the goal of 100 labs by 2020.〔Janeen Wright, ''NY SunWorks’ Greenhouse Project Aims To Build 100 Labs By 2020'', Greenhouse Grower: Business Management, http://www.greenhousegrower.com/structures-equipment/ny-sunworks-greenhouse-project-aims-to-build-100-labs-by-2020/ (April 15, 2015).〕 NY Sun Works partner schools with completed Greenhouse Classrooms in the greater NYC area include: The Manhattan School for Children P.S. 333;〔 The Computer School M.S. 245;〔Emily Frost, ''The Computer School’s Hydroponic Lab Takes Root with Bountiful Vegetables'', DNAinfo, http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20130215/upper-west-side/computer-schools-hydroponic-lab-takes-root-with-bountiful-vegetables (April 15, 2015).〕 P.S. 89 Cypress Hills;〔Robin Plaskoff Horton, ''New York City Public School’s Rooftop Hydroponic Garden and Urban Farm Classroom'', Urban Gardens, http://www.urbangardensweb.com/2011/11/16/nyc-classroom-in-an-urban-rooftop-farm/ (April 3, 2015).〕 P.S. 84 Jose de Diego;〔Tanay Warerkar, ''Brooklyn’s First Rooftop Garden Classroom Breaks Ground'', The Greenpoint Gazette http://www.greenpointnews.com/news/6590/brooklyn-s-first-rooftop-garden-classroom-breaks-ground (April 15, 2015).〕 P.S. 208 Alain L.

A model for future projects, the first greenhouse will be built in East New York, Brooklyn and incorporate NY Sun Works’ classroom layout and “Discovering Sustainability Science” curriculum, enabling hands-on STEM learning for area schools and community members.〔 The nonprofit Students for Service has partnered with Bedford Stuyvesant New Beginnings Charter School and NY Sun Works to teach nutrition and distribute food grown in the Greenhouse Classroom to students and neighborhood families.〔 The Harvard Business School Club of New York recently partnered with NY Sun Works under HBSCNY’s Community Partners program. Assisting with an assessment of potential NY Sun Works partnerships, the team of Community Partners volunteers prepared a set of key recommendations on growth alternatives.〔Community Partners, ''Brainstorm To Help Environmental Ed Innovator Grow Urban Farming Labs in K-8 Schools'', Harvard Business School Club of New York, http://hbscnycommunitypartners.org/2015/03/31/brainstorm-to-help-environmental-ed-innovator-grow-urban-farming-labs-in-k-8-schools/ (March 31, 2015).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New York Sun Works」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
