A Minnesota-focused Flipgrid activity about climate change

We’re inviting teachers to use the Our Minnesota Climate Flipgrid activity in their classrooms so that we can hear from our youth on their vision for a better climate and a more sustainable Minnesota.

For classrooms: A Minnesota-focused Flipgrid activity about climate change

 
The State of Minnesota’s Flipgrid Topic asks learners to imagine and describe Minnesota in the year 2050, the year that our state will be meeting—or exceeding!—its goals to reduce greenhouse gas emission by 80%.  After reading short articles about climate change impacts and solutions on Our Minnesota Climate website, the activity asks the students to share: What are your ideas for climate action in Minnesota? What do you want Minnesota to be like in 2050? 
 
If you are an educator in Minnesota and complete this activity before June 30, 2022, you are invited to email britt.gangeness@state.mn.us and we will arrange for a state leader to visit your grid as a guest, view the videos, and leave a video reply for your learners.
