Where in Oakland is Liberty Cheng...

Based on the enthusiastic reception and feedback of a number of schools and teachers of our special invitation to Oakland youth to help their city see its way to 2045, we have decided to extend the date for submissions of student projects to April 1, 2016. 

Between, now and then the Smart Oakland team welcomes any and all communication from students and their teacher and parents who would like to share how they are using the University of California's Center for Cities and Schools' Y-PLAN roadmap to help their city. 

Upon request, the Smart Oakland team will do its best to visit schools in order to share with them firsthand what Smart Oakland is all about and to hear more about their projects.

The revised one-pager with program details can be found here. Also, I invite you to watch the Smart Oakland-Y-PLAN inspired speech that Smart Oakland project manager, Michael Ford, gave last Friday at the Smart Oakland Proposal Writing Hackathon.

Please forward this post to any contacts in Oakland's education community and other interested constituents!
