Project
为参与这社区发展过程的苏兹伯格中学学生开一门创新的、以社区为基础的环境课程。自从1997年开设第一个场所力量（Power of Place）课程后，七年级和八年级的学生们已对他们的邻里自然和社会历史做了研究，而且提出了杰出的作品，让他们对自己社区能引以自豪，并激发对未来的愿景。该中学的校长和老师因这计划的前景扩大，且藉由网际网络加入了麻省理工学院学生，而感到非常兴奋。
Develop a new, community-based, environmental curriculum for Sulzberger Middle School where students engage in the process of community development. Since the first Power of Place class in 1997, seventh and eighth graders have studied the natural and social history of their neighborhood, produced outstanding academic work, inspired pride in their community and visions for its future. The school's principal and teachers are very excited about the prospect of expanding this program to include MIT students via the Internet.
