Reading Changes Lives: Literacy Garden

Project Information

Reading Changes Lives is a nonprofit organization in Chattanooga dedicated to promoting literacy to a largely disenfranchised population of reluctant and/or non-readers. Their mission is to inspire locals to embrace the importance and joy of reading to become literate. STEM students will work with Eric to expand the foundation with a Literacy Garden. The garden will be a park-like setting for children in an outdoor environment. This project will provide STEM teams with the opportunity to use their engineering design skills to design and build the garden space.. Students will be encouraged to add their own personal reading flare and promote their favorite books throughout the design.
