Guiding young learners to shape our world’s climate future… together.
Day of Climate offers free, hands-on curriculum of lessons and activities designed to introduce K-12 students to research on climate and how it shapes their lives. These resources are developed by MIT community (including faculty, researchers, students, and staff), and designed for formal and informal learning environments.
What if the next breakthrough climate solution came from your school?
Regenerative Futures challenges high school innovators to go beyond “doing less harm” and instead design solutions that restore, renew, and regenerate our planet. Hosted by the MIT pK-12 Initiative and the Fab Foundation, this global challenge invites student teams to turn bold ideas into real, physical prototypes – with mentorship, funding, and the opportunity to showcase their work on stage in Boston.
