PBL on Curriculum Design Lab - Climate Science + Justice
WHEN: Saturday, April 20, 2019 from 9:00-4:00
WHERE: Foster High School
4242 South 144th St, Tukwila
This six-hour PBL Curriculum Design Lab is a unique convening of secondary teachers, student leaders, community leaders, climate scientists, local government and industry climate champions. We will explore real-world data, policy frameworks, engineered solutions and local curriculum case studies in various forms of development. You get to borrow, adapt, create, share and drive solutions. The Lab will be organized as an invigorating practicum around the following problem statement:
“What are the most effective, local climate solutions at the nexus of science, engineering, policy and justice and how can we rapidly amplify them?”
District teams of teachers, administrators, curriculum designers, and student reps are strongly encouraged. District Teams may invite 2-4 high capacity student reps of your own. All students must officially register.
It’s a Lab! REGISTER TODAY All interested Lab participants, including students must officially register.

Come hear inspiring climate planner Susan Anderson describe how the City of Portland and Multnomah County brought greenhouse gas reductions from goal to reality. Cities are important, because they account for 70% of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. Our local cities have set goals in the King County-Cities Climate Collaboration (K4C). But we aren’t meeting those goals. How can we—residents, county and city staff, and councilmembers—learn from Portland’s work in climate action planning? Come and find out!
Hosted and paid for by People for Climate Action members with the support of Sustainability Ambassadors and many other climate-focused groups.
