Climate Superpowers in the Classroom

About the project

The interactive, strengths-based website (climatesuperpowers.org) was created with and for young people through the Young People’s Climate Superpowers project (2022).

The Climate Superpowers in the Classroom project will amplify the impact of this website by developing and piloting teaching resources to support educators to use it in school and university classrooms.

To do this, researchers are partnering with young people, adult educators and education experts to co-develop, pilot and refine lesson plans and other teaching resources for two educational settings - high school and undergraduate. Guidance on how the Climate Superpowers website aligns with school curricula and tertiary education frameworks will also be developed and tested.

Additional resources from this project will be added to the Climate Superpowers website:

climatesuperpowers.org

This project builds on the Young People's Climate Superpowers project and is linked with the Teacher Climate Superpowers project.
