Hands-on, engaging learning experiences that ignite curiosity can happen anywhere. Whether it’s in the classroom or outside, we offer a variety of educational resources for students of all ages, informed by our partnership with Portland Public Schools as we deliver the first ever fully integrated K-12 Climate Literacy curriculum.
Some of these activities require a printer but many can be completed using a smartphone or laptop. Many of these options can be used to support learning taking place in the classroom (ask your student’s teacher about them), while others are just for fun. Check out the table below for grade-level-appropriate options.
