Climate School @ Columbia University - K12 Initiatives
K12 STUDENT AND EDUCATOR EVENTS
The Climate School’s K12 Initiatives can foster, facilitate, and grow greater engagement with broader audiences looking to deepen their knowledge in climate and sustainability. Current activities in this area amplify mutual engagement between diverse audiences and motivate action based on sound science, broad knowledge, and diverse perspectives. By leveraging the Climate School’s scholarship across various centers, we design personally relevant, interdisciplinary, and data-driven workshops, lectures, and curriculum that are free and accessible for K12 students, educators, schools, and the general public.
Climate LIVE K12 is an online video series that features experts from across the Columbia Climate School presenting relevant climate and sustainability content for K12 students, educators, and a generalist audience. The LIVE sessions bring our interdisciplinary research across our centers into classrooms.
Each session has an appropriate targeted grade range based on the topic, and the sessions vary between topical lectures, demos, and skills-based training. In addition to the videos, we offer additional educational resources related to the content covered in these online sessions whenever possible.
If you would like to submit any questions before the event, please send them to Laurel Zaima-Sheehy (lzaima@climate.columbia.edu).
