We took a city bus and turned it into a classroom! The Bat Mobile is a dreamscape where students have room to reimagine what’s possible. Austin Bat Cave partnered with SOMA Small Spaces and Kuniklo Artist Collective to develop our mobile classroom.
With rising housing costs and gentrification pushing families further outside of city limits, Austin Bat Cave developed a mobile classroom by converting a city bus into a travelling writing lab and library—the ABC Bat Mobile. Currently this program serves four schools in the Del Valle Independent School District.
What’s on the bus?
- Library of books for students of all ages
- Writing cushions and desks
- Hidden writing prompts
- Interactive Sculptures
- Zines and other writing by ABC students
- Unlimited creative possibilities
