School Programs

We partner with Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) and other local schools and groups to deliver dynamic, STEAM-based programming that sparks creativity and promotes sustainability.

  • Turnip Sprouts: A weekly club program and our most consistent offering. Turnip Sprouts connects TGCR curriculum with school initiatives and is facilitated through an SEL lens.
  • In-Class Workshop: Engage students in a one time program focusing on environmental empowerment while learning a new creative skill. 
  • Creativity Kits: Take creative reuse on the go! We provide creativity kits which include curriculum and materials needed for an educational and engaging reuse project.
