CUE Outreach

Shortridge Magnet School

The CUE is working closely with Indianapolis Public Schools' Shortridge Magnet School for Law and Public Policy. Staff and Faculty at the CUE have forged partnerships with Shortridge science faculty, to develop experiential learning opportunities and  outdoor learning experiences. During a tour of the Shortridge school last year, we learned that they have a greenhouse on campus. One of our initiatives is to help Shortridge get their greenhouse up and working.  Shortidge is also one of our rain barrel installation sites for the United Water grant.  Shortridge students will assist CUE interns in installing the rain barrels and monitoring water quality.
