Playground City is excited to lead the development of the Cycles & Sprouts curriculum! Our approach to development is based on Human-Centered Design methods. HCD emphasizes empathy building and experimentation to design meaningful products, in this case, a curriculum that will enable people to level up their urban ag and bike repair skills!
