Kansas State University takes lead in Kansas for climate change education project
With schools across the country shuttering classes due to the coronavirus, one climate education project is moving full-speed ahead. Kansas State University will be the lead university in the state for the major national climate education initiative, Solve Climate by 2030.
The nationwide, virtual teach-in focused on local solutions to climate change is set for April 7 and will feature simultaneous, university-led webinars in nearly all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and five international sites.
"For teachers scrambling to move classes online, the April 7 event provides a ready-made lesson plan to assign the webinar as homework, and then 'make climate a class' — online if needed — the next day," said Larry Erickson, adjunct faculty member in the Tim Taylor Department of Chemical Engineering and Kansas State University's contact for the virtual education project.
