Room wanted in NYC

Karioki Crosby is the Founder of Latimer Heights and has developed the Harlem Maker Fair as a Bundles Scholar. Latimer Heights produces the Harlem Maker Fair and offers digital literacy workshops for children, youth, and adults at Columbia University, the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Microsoft, and HIP HOP HACKS.

In 2021, Crosby and fellow Bundles Scholar Regan Sommer McCoy received a professional development grant for The Mixtape Museum and Latimer Heights from the Institute of Museum and Library Services' program Game Plan, a national initiative to integrate game design into museum education programs. Crosby and McCoy will discuss this and other work to promote and increase student engagement (especially during and after the COVID pandemic), computer programming/literacy, wellness/health, and teamwork.

In addition to leading Latimer Heights, Crosby is a digital literacy educator at Queens Public Library’s Queensbridge Tech Lab, the system-wide manager for the Queens Public Library robotics program, and a co-chair of the Queens Public Library’s President's Council on Racial Equity. He was a founding teacher in and creator of the visual arts program at KIPPNYC Public Schools, a network of fifteen public charter schools in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Harlem and Washington Heights. Crosby has been a teacher-educator at the Guggenheim Museum, The New York Hall of Science, The New York Historical Society, the Lewis Latimer House Museum, and The Morgan Library and Museum.
