New York Sun Works is a not-for-profit organization that brings sustainability science and climate education to K-12 public schools through its Hydroponic Classrooms. The program provides hands-on learning that connects students with the processes of growing food while exploring the relationships among technology, environment, and climate change, and it produces tangible outcomes by sharing harvested produce with school communities. The organization emphasizes inclusive, culturally responsive programming designed to accommodate diverse learners, including those requiring special accommodations. Based in New York City, it serves a broad network of NYC schools and has grown from a single classroom in Manhattan in 2010 to a program reaching hundreds of schools across the five boroughs. Aimed at expanding access to climate and sustainability education, NY Sun Works also operates initiatives such as teacher-focused programs and classroom kits to support ongoing learning.
