Placemaking: Chattanooga as Text
Summer 2017 Social Entrepreneurship Course
“Placemaking: Chattanooga as Text”
Are you a self-starter, “out-of-the-box" thinker who possesses intellectual maturity and is motivated by real world experiences? “Chattanooga as Text” (CAT) is a 3-week, one credit summer course developed by Girls Preparatory School with the purpose of teaching local young women how to actively engage with their community to make positive change. The traditional classroom learning experience - while great for some students - may not address individual learning styles or showcase authentic talents and abilities. Chattanooga as Text seeks to develop the inherent strengths of the participants through a combination of inter-disciplinary classroom instruction, an interactive introduction to Chattanooga through a historical and scientific lens and a culminating group project that addresses a current social issue of our city. There is no charge to students for this course; it is 100% scholarship-based.
