About this Event

Teachers, high school students: join us for climate and energy workshops focusing on education, activism, policy, and readily available resources.

Working agenda HERE.

MIT's Climate Action Through Education (CATE) Program welcomes high school students and K-12 teachers/administrators to engage with local climate and energy organizations, educational resources, research, and experts.

The conference will offer an exclusive look at CATE's high school climate curriculum (materials for English, History, Math, and Science classrooms) with workshops to consider classroom implementation.

Collaborators will also host workshops about the youth-led climate movement in MA, the En-ROADS Climate Solutions Simulator, the MIT Climate Policy Center's work and research, and other climate education resources, followed by an expert panel. Join us to learn how you can make a difference in your community with education and action.
