Time: 9:00 am–4:00 pm, daily

New York City would be very different without the complex subway system that runs underneath its busy streets. Learn about the history and design of the New York City subway and consider examples from around the world. Students will explore some of the city's most unique subway stations and transit-related sites as research for designing and building a future transit hub using 3D design software.

Students will need to bring their own laptop and charging cord with Windows 11 or 10 or Mac OS 15 (Sequoia), 14+ (Sonoma), 13+ (Ventura), 12+ (Monterey) for this class. Students can bring their own mouse, or CFA will provide a wired mouse for student use. Students will be sent a link to download the free SketchUp trial software prior to the first day of class. Students with Chromebooks can use the free web-based SketchUp software. Tablets and phones cannot be used for this program. Please check your system requirements here.
