The School of the Future on East 22nd Street is over 100 years old. It was originally the Manhattan Trade School for Girls, erected in 1916. Talk about future-proofing! I wonder what trades were taught to girls in 1916?

I was looking through some curriculum materials in a classroom, and had to share my findings. If you look at the bottom right corner of the page, there is a “Reproduction Prohibited” notice. However, the pages I was viewing were photocopies! Someone had purposely disregarded the “do not copy” prohibition. Guilty guilty guilty!
Meta, this blog post duplicates the photocopy, which duplicated the original. So am I guilty as well?

The school I visited had their first STEM club meeting on Friday. I hung around to get some ideas. Okay, I admit I stayed to play with the metal marble drop toy.

In a room inside the old Stuyvesant high school, there is a back storage closet. In the back of this closet, there is an old, forgotten staircase leading upwards to a spooky loft. Very disturbing.
