How can we better prepare the next generation of scientists, innovators, healthcare workers, and policymakers to solve our world’s biggest challenges?

In this first event in Labster’s new Global Issues series, join leading educators to learn how they use experiential education models and innovative technologies to engage students around climate change and other earth science topics.

This virtual event on June 2 will feature three interactive sessions:

Session 1: Experiential learning panel – Gillian Martin Mehers of Bright Green Learning, Mary Ford of Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots USA, and Dr. Linda Booth Sweeney of Toggle Labs will discuss how educators can use strategies including citizen science, systems thinking games, and live simulations to expand student perspectives on climate change and sustainability.
Session 2: Learning design panel – Members of Labster’s science and game design team will offer a behind-the-scenes discussion of how they use technology, educator feedback, and learning design to help students understand complex and urgent scientific topics affecting our world.
Session 3: Educator breakout groups – Join our panelists, game designers, and fellow educators for open, small-group discussions about the methods and ideas you can use to engage your students about climate change and other important topics in the STEM curriculum.
