Educator Open Session: Flyway City

Flyway City, designed and co-curated with Chicago-based Studio Gang, showcases design initiatives to solve a significant built environment problem: more than one billion birds are lost to building collisions each year. Discover how design helps solve this problem to bring a more harmonious connection between nature and our skyscrapers.

The CAC will offer free access to the Flyway City exhibition, classroom resources to bring both Flyway City and classic CAC material into the classroom, opportunities to take a mini field trip, and more!

The content of the exhibition is geared toward older students and adults. CAC classroom learning materials have been created for students in grades 3-12.
