Scientists, world leaders, and learners agree that addressing climate change is urgent. That’s why MIT Open Learning launched today the Day of Climate, an effort that aims to equip K-12-aged learners and their educators with short format, hands-on educational materials and tools to better understand what climate change is, its impact, and possible solutions. The curriculum activities seek to empower young learners to directly explore and design solutions that address climate and sustainability challenges.
Open Learning is seeking proposals from the MIT community (including faculty, researchers, students, and staff) for designs of high-quality, accessible, and empowering educational materials.
Following MIT President Sally Kornbluth’s call to action to combat climate change, Day of Climate aligns with the Institute’s mission of sharing knowledge to collaborate on global challenges like climate solutions.
