DESIGN NARRATIVE In the center of my design, learning extends far beyond the confines of traditional classrooms, with each day offering a symphony of experiences that fuels young minds. Woven with the threads of environmental exploration, where students discovered the magic of ecology beneath towering trees and calculated mathematics using the artistry of nature. Outdoor classrooms provided a canvas for lessons, fostering a connection to the Earth that textbooks couldn't replicate. Committed to enhance the senses was evident in every corner. Students can hear the rustle of leaves as they read, feel the cool breeze during science experiments, and observe the vibrant colors of butterflies as they learned about diversity. Through sensory-rich experiences, they developed a profound understanding and appreciation for the world around them.

Santiago STEAM MAGNET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Santiago Elementary School has a vision to provide the students with interactive surroundings by the means of being engaged in outside learning and being around nature.

By designing both an interactive and nature driven space where students can be provided with outside learning through the means of various different plants that encourage them to use their sense of touch, smell, sight, and sound can bring many different opportunities for the students at Santiago to experience new ways of learning.

Sensory Garden

Social Gatherings

The use of sensory gardens will allow students to explore their five senses and learn as they do to become more engaged with plants.

Social gathering is a great way for students to make new friends and be able to explore in new ways.

Goal 2. Social Experience

Be more social by coming together in the gathering area.

Students here can meet new students and make new friend groups.

Goal 3. Nature Experience

Getting students to be in tune with nature, which will help reduce anxiety and stress for students and increase creativity and attention capacity. It will also have a positive impact on student’s brain and behavior.

Moveable seating and planters to rearrange the site to the students liking.

Housing Services) - Educational Food Learning Center This site is vacant most of the times as it only has one bench for seating. Potential for an educational food learning center where students can be provided with learning how food grows and it’s benefits. Students can enhance their understanding by using touch and taste.
