EcoRise: Student Grants and Design Thinking: Houston

Empower your students to solve sustainability challenges on your campus, through scientific inquiry, eco-audits, and student driven grant funds for green campus projects. We'll use EcoRise's Design Studio activities to strengthen critical thinking and problem-solving skills, explore exemplar student projects, and complete a mock eco-audit grant application. Thinking about guiding your students through an eco-audit or applying for an EcoRise grant? This workshop is for you.  

This training is free and open to all Houston area K-12 teachers (new and experienced EcoRise teachers welcome). Please bring a laptop and a personal water bottle for use (to reduce single use plastic waste).

Teacher in attendance will have access to EcoRise’s Sustainable Intelligence Program which includes K-12 STEM based, standards aligned curriculum, training/support, and access to our Student Innovation Fund for student projects. Lunch and PD credit provided.
