KCC Urban Farm Class Bed Applications
We are accepting class bed applications for Spring 2019!
A limited number of class beds (4’x8’ raised beds) are available at KCC Urban Farm for faculty/staff who would like to use them for curricular and/or research purposes. Class beds are not for personal use – they are to be used for instruction and/or research only. We are happy to collaborate with all academic programs to create an enriching experience for students.
If you are interested in having a class bed for the Spring 2019 semester, please use the google form to apply for a class bed. I will be reviewing applications and reaching out to applicants to schedule follow up meetings and answer any questions.

A First-hand Look at CUNY TechWorks
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably heard about CUNY TechWorks and want to learn more. Dena Friedman is a recent graduate of the program. She wanted to tell her story about her time in CTW and how it changed her life. It’s a long article, but worth every word!
How I Learned to Redefine and Redesign My Future Through the CUNY TechWorks User Experience Design Program
By Dena H. Friedman
For those of us who are content within our comfort zones, professional change may seem daunting, so we don’t seek out new paths or even know that we need to. Sometimes, if we’re fortunate, an opportunity finds us – one that dares to whisk away the entanglements of risk-taking. Such was the case for me in early spring 2018. I was perusing Kingsborough Community College’s website in search of new career opportunities. What caught my eye first, though, was a colorful call-out promoting the CUNY TechWorks User Experience Design Program.
Tips on Being Successful in Kingsborough’s UX Design Immersive
Welcome to the world of UX, from CTW student Nicole Follins
Going through Kingsborough Community College’s CUNY TechWorks immersive User Experience (UX) Design program is a huge decision, especially if you’re a career changer like myself. For the last 10+ years I’ve been working in restaurants and bars but always had a passion for design. So taking the leap from making Mojitos to making Mockups was a huge decision for me. I decided to go all in, I had nothing to lose but everything to gain. The journey to becoming a UX Designer was not easy and I faced many challenges coming from a non design background. Here are a few tips that helped me succeed in my UX Design Immersive and keep your stress levels low.
