AAEE Learning Circle: Climate Science and Sustainable Energy Education Webinar
Event description
Climate Science and Sustainable Energy Education Webinar
Presented by David Wood
Purpose
To share the work of the UWA-based Einstein First project in relation to the education of students about climate science and sustainable energy futures.
Why
Global warming and it’s impact on our climate has accelerated the need to transition to a carbon-free fuel economy. Our belief is that children and young adults learning about climate science and sustainable energy production will inspire and empower them to understand their scientific and technological world and invest themselves in a sustainable energy future.
Outline
- ð Quick overview of the Einstein-First Project
- ð Empowering students to lead discussions about climate change and the need for a carbon free energy world
- ð Resources to support the development of student knowledge about climate science, climate change and the need for a sustainable energy future
- ð Discussion of other resources – commercial or otherwise – sharing
Future action
Invite schools and organisations to become involved in and trial some of the Climate Science and Sustainable Energy Futures learning resources.
