Taking Classes Outdoors

Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College will soon have an outdoor classroom on campus by this fall. The new space will be known as the Megwayaak ("in the woods") classroom and will be located between the campus amphitheater and the Chiringa art piece.

The classroom, constructed by TKDA with general contractor Max Gray Construction, will feature a demonstration kitchen and space for classes and other activities.

"We are so excited about Megwayaak," said Courtney Kowalczak, director of the Environmental Institute at FDLTCC. "It will give us the ability to hold workshops and demonstrations on how to prepare fresh local foods and use traditional foods, such as manoomin (wild rice) and maple syrup, in wonderful-tasting dishes. It will be a beautiful learning space."
