about

Climate Kids Explorer Backpacks are portable, field-ready education kits with the essentials that you need to teach youth about a variety of topics related to climate change science and solutions.

Ideal for field trips, outdoor locations, and classrooms, each Backpack includes background information on climate topics for educators, a presentation for students, and materials for hands-on art, science, and storytelling activities.

Presentations are included in both digital and print formats—printed slides with talking points on the back can be used for outdoor learning opportunities, and a USB contains digital slides to be used in the classroom.

It uses real data about wildlife, watersheds, and communities that participants can use to explore local change and learn about what steps students can take to reduce the impacts of climate change.
