Climate Generation’s TeachScience project supports Minnesota schools in becoming living laboratories — places that bring science, engineering, and education together using their own environment and infrastructure. Through the TeachScience project, middle school science teachers will receive hands-on training and ongoing support to deepen experiences where students can learn about energy, the environment, and climate change. This summer, free regional workshops around Minnesota will connect educators to local green professionals and provide a foundation for learning the new Minnesota middle school science energy and climate standards while supporting learners in building green career awareness and skills.
