Big Picture People

When Mena Gamil and Makarious Mesak were assigned a project in their freshman seminar at LEAD Academy, they wanted to finish the quarter with a good grade. But the teens were swept away by a big idea: solar sidewalks. They led the class in a project proposal that got the attention of the local leaders, and learned that even as teenagers, they could have a voice in how the city grows. Betsy Littrell, an architect and sustainability advocate, interviews Mena and Makarious and takes us on a tour of her tiny urban farm. Check out this episode's illustrated GIF by Lauren Cierzan at .
