Thanks for sharing this with the E-STEM group! Effective climate communication is such an important piece of E-STEM education. This crash course supports students in connecting scientific understanding with real-world action, whether they're analyzing data, engaging in community projects, or presenting solutions. It also complements outdoor and project-based learning by helping students communicate their ideas clearly and with purpose. Has anyone here used this or a similar resource alongside student-led E-STEM projects?
