Who: This professional development opportunity is open to all K-12 educators, with a focus on secondary level science.

Join us for two full days of climate and weather exploration at an in-person workshop for secondary science educators. 

• Day 1: Start your journey at the CU Museum of Natural History to uncover hidden clues in the environment that reveal how Colorado ecosystems are changing over time. Get into the collections to experience the specimens and passion behind the research.
• Day 2: We head to the NSF NCAR Mesa Lab to discover what scientists are learning about our current climate—and what models suggest about the future. Dive into dynamic, classroom-ready investigations that bring Earth system science to life. 

Converse directly with scientists and explore a wealth of free educational resources designed to make climate science personal, relevant, and accessible to your students. 

Leave inspired, informed, and equipped with practical strategies you can implement right away!
