Climate Kits
C3 partners with the Virginia Discovery Museum to deliver Climate Action Kits to public school students in 4th and 5th grade in Albemarle and Charlottesville public schools. Each kit, offered in English and Spanish, provides hands-on learning about climate and energy and directs families to energy efficiency programs that will reduce both emissions and home energy costs. To date, C3 has delivered more than 3,200 kits to area students.
Kit Contents
The kit includes:
A climate justice art project
A plant-your-own garden kit
An in-school energy scavenger hunt
A grown-up guide with information on local rebates and energy efficiency resources
A solar-powered night light
A water leak detection activity
“We are excited to partner with C3 to provide activities that can be shared with students in the classroom and at home. These lessons provide an opportunity for teachers to educate our students about their impact on the environment.”
