How can we integrate real-world problem solving, joy, and impactful climate solutions into our schools and communities? Come work and play with us in the White Mountains of NH as we approach these questions together. Along with expertise from VEEP/NHEEP you will gain insights from several of our Youth Climate Leaders, MindSpark Learning, which specializes in problem-based learning to prepare students for the modern workforce, as well as the fabulous cohort of skilled educators like yourself who choose to participate in the program. You will plan a curriculum that cultivates hope and brings students meaningful learning opportunities to tackle relevant climate solutions for their community. Open to all educators, any grade, any subject.

Participants will: 

• Figure out how to make climate learning problem-based, hands-on and accessible to all students

• Become comfortable using student-driven learning practices in any subject as modeled through the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)

• Find locally relevant, hopeful, solutions-focused learning opportunities related to climate and energy

• Practice finding a pathway to action while navigating specific standards, constraints, and circumstances
