Teaching about climate change is a challenge. Project WILD materials and training can help!

gannon1 — 2024-06-14 16:14:10 UTC

The Climate Innovation Challenge (CIC) is a free STEAM curriculum designed by Climate Advocates Voces Unidas (CAVU). Targeting students from grades 3 to 12, the program empowers young learners to develop innovative solutions to climate change while honing their skills in storytelling and video production. This unique approach enables students to effectively communicate their ideas to both their communities and decision-makers.

Rebecca VanArnam is actively engaged with educators and students in the Northeast Region. She is available for further discussions on how the CIC can be integrated into your classroom to support and enhance educational outcomes. Please reach out to Rebecca at rebecca@cavu.org.

Registration for the 2024/2025 School Year is now open!

Growing Hope in a Native Forest

Consider the co-benefits of planting a tree. Perhaps the tree was planted to provide shade; yet the impact of the tree extend far beyond the shade it casts. Trees provide a suite of ecosystem services to the natural environment, cycling nutrients and water, stabilizing soil and controlling erosion, creating key microclimates, providing food and habitat for a variety of species. Trees provide the same services, and more, to human communities.

Share our personal journey as an environmental science class who decided to calculate our carbon footprint and offset it by planting trees. What we discovered astonished us, changed us, expanded our worldview, and gave us so much hope.
