About the Event
How would our students engage if they knew they were part of building a classroom, school, or district climate action plan (CAP) that directly and measurably served academic standards, career-connected learning, and city performance measures?
Participants will be immersed in a series of PBL lesson frameworks, exemplary city climate action plans, and sample student impact projects. The goal is to empower youth voice, agency and ownership in helping their local city develop or implement a Climate Action Plan with measurable targets for reducing GHG emissions. We will be working with Climate Action Teachers Fellows from 10 school districts from Pierce and King Counties as well as student leaders from the Sustainability Ambassadors training program.
We will use science to analyze local climate impacts, technology to explore smart city AI applications, data science and math to calculate GHG emission reductions, and the engineering design process to identify local climate solutions including…
