Agenda

The term “bioplastics” refers to plastic materials made from renewable sources, instead of fossil based sources. At this workshop, bio artist Lorena Rodriguez Ostia will lead the group in creating their own gelatin based bioplastics which can be taken home. All materials will be supplied and are safe, household items. All ages are welcome! loloostia.com/about

Make your own bioplastics

In this workshop, participants will get career-coaching support to build a career in the climate space. There will be a resume review, interview support, and self-branding discussion to support participants with taking the first step in getting a green job and building a longer-term climate career.

Build your climate career pathway with Green Jobs Board

This workshop will be lead by Richard Reiss, one of the co-creators of the educational board game Energetic, a cooperative, interactive game focused on building a understanding of how to bring carbon-neutral energy to NYC. The game is suited for players 11 years and older, can be played at home, or in the classroom as an instructional tool. newyork.thecityatlas.org/energetic
