Edify Symposium - May 6th, 2019

NYU Eisner & Lubin Auditorium

What is Edify Projects?

Edify Projects is an initiative to create a national high school competition in which students reimagine their schools’ physical and programmatic design — thinking critically about their own education and brainstorming innovative ideas for a future-oriented K-12 education system. This year the project was piloted by over 50 students from NYU & Monument Mountain High School and will expand to more schools in 2020.

This year the NYU design team identified four key areas they feel are underemphasized in K-12 education: ecological sustainability, technological literacy, creativity & entrepreneurship, and human & life skills - instilled both in the curricular and architectural designs showcased at the symposium.

The Edify Symposium is a student created, led, and executed conference that revolves around the presentation of architectural and curricular redesigns of a public high school created by teams of both undergraduate and high school students. This year’s symposium will feature redesigns of a public high school in rural Massachusetts — Monument Mountain Regional High School.
