Casey Middle School, Leadership Class: GUB-Civic Area Curriculum

"The City as Play" Design Activity

"The City as Play" is a design activity inspired by James Rojas, an urban planner who strives to spark creativity by using everyday objects to discover design solutions. GUB worked with students on an aerial map using ordinary objects to allow the youth to generate design innovations for the civic area. Some of their ideas include public art, water cisterns, and an atrium space for the farmer's market. Click on the images below to see their work!
*Growing Up Boulder (GUB) is Boulder's child-friendly city initiative. A formal partnership between the City of Boulder, Boulder Valley School District, and the University of Colorado, GUB became a nonprofit in spring 2021 under the fiscal sponsorship of the Colorado Nonprofit Development Center (CNDC). Since 2009, GUB has worked with over 7,500 children and youth on more than 100 projects.
