Climate Champions Design Summits
About
The annual Climate Champions Design Summits support participating teams with learning about a local earth-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.
