Turn Your School Green

Sat, Aug 29, 2026

Green schools and skyscrapers! In this program we’ll compare the architecture and engineering of our neighbor, the Battery Park City “Green School” and a skyscraper, the Empire State Building, to see how buildings of different sizes can use design to be more energy efficient. Then we’ll redesign a school that teaches us how architecture can help address climate change!

This is an in-person children’s program that meets at the Skyscraper Museum, 39 Battery Pl. Programs are designed for children ages 3-10 years old.

You must reserve a place for your child/family by clicking the “RSVP” button above. You will be redirected to the program’s TicketStripe page where you can reserve your spots. Every child should be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Family programs are free! Reservation priority is given to The Skyscraper Museum members. Want to become a member? Summer programs are supported by a Community Partnership with the Battery Park City Authority.
