2021-present
In this project I am collaborating with Dr. Andres Bustamante and Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek to extend their prior Play Learning Landscapes work to our partner city of Santa Ana, CA. We are co-designing physical learning spaces within the urban spaces of the city, to promote early-childhood and family-centered STEM learning experiences that build from the cultural, social, and local STEM practices of Latinx families in Santa Ana. We are collaborating with the Santa Ana Early Learning Initiative (SAELI). My role in the project is to direct the co-design agenda to link community partnerships, culture, values, and goals of the Santa Ana community into the design of the city itself.
