Each weekday around 3 p.m., parents and families from Chattanooga\u2019s Oak Grove neighborhood gather outside East Side Elementary to pick up their children.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What should be a safe and routine part of the day can actually be quite dangerous, as cars speed through the residential area.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To address this concern and make the neighborhood safer, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga students in Dr. Chandra Ward\u2019s Innovations in Honors course\u2014Innovation Lab I\u2014 spent their Monday afternoons installing signage and painting crosswalks to create a more pedestrian-friendly area.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been learning about elements of walkability all semester,\u201d said Ward, a UC Foundation associate professor of sociology. \u201cWe are partnering with Community Neighborhood Enterprise to focus on the Oak Grove neighborhood and how to make it more walkable and safe. This semester, we\u2019re implementing small-scale projects ourselves\u2014while next semester we\u2019ll tackle a larger project for the stakeholders.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Innovations in Honors program in the Honors College, designed for transfer and current UTC students at the sophomore and junior levels, is a problem-based, community-embedded learning experience that challenges students to develop critical thinking, design thinking, applied creativity and collaborative leadership. A partnership with the city of Chattanooga during the two-semester <\/span>UTC Honors College Innovation Labs<\/span><\/b><\/a> allows the students to work closely with civic leaders to tackle authentic, real-world problems.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ward explained that the students\u2019 work would not only address physical safety but also social inequality.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>In the last year or so that I\u2019ve been studying walkability, I\u2019ve learned that the negative effects of unwalkable neighborhoods reflect the social inequalities in our society,\u201d she said. \u201cPeople of color, specifically Black and Indigenous people, have the largest pedestrian death rates compared to their white counterparts.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in a neighborhood that is largely minority and lower income, which puts residents here at a higher risk.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Joana Da Silva, a sophomore photography and media art student born in Venezuela\u2014who moved to Atlanta with her family at the age of 12\u2014said that she was passionate about being able to help a predominantly Hispanic community. She explained that some of the signage was written in Spanish to make it more accessible.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Da Silva said she noticed the community already appreciated the work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of them have asked what we are doing, then they\u2019re like, \u2018Oh my God, thank you,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Caroline Schrader, a sophomore mechatronics engineering student from St. Louis, used a large stencil to paint white strips in the street with the help of her classmates. She said her love for design made this project exciting for her.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s meaningful just to use what I know and what I\u2019m good at to help benefit a community,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is a working class neighborhood. They shouldn\u2019t have to take their own time out to make their neighborhood feel safe.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ward said she understands her students are not urban planners and that they come from different majors and backgrounds.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really empowering to take charge in your community,\u201d she said. \u201cYou don\u2019t necessarily need to wait for the bureaucracy to do the work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
