Climate Champions Design Summit
About
The biannual Climate Champions Design Summits support participating teams with learning about a local climate-based phenomenon. From exploration of this phenomenon, teams will learn how to use the Understanding Global Change framework to support constructing models and evidence-based explanations. Participating teams will be provided Modeling Kits for each teacher to use with their students and be invited to participate in monthly Community of Practice meetings. The Community of Practice meetings are designed to support sharing learning from implementation and connect teachers to new learning experiences with researchers.
