Three-Day Turbo Institute

Immerse yourself in the buildings, bridges, monuments, parks, and historic districts of New York City. Through walking tours, visits to architectural and engineering firms and construction sites, and hands-on exploration of Salvadori lesson plans, you will be engaged in projects that address math, science, literacy, technology, social studies, and fine arts. Salvadori educators will help you develop project-based lesson plans specific to your curriculum and your "landscape." The Turbo Institute is designed for educators in the metropolitan New York City area who can travel to the Salvadori Center.
