Science Education:
In the main lobby outside Exhibit Hall E,
the conference will feature a booth displaying examples of
education materials on climate change now in use in California,
plus education programs scheduled to debut in 2008.
ClimateChangeEducation.Org will be bringing resources from:
• Science Centers and Museums •
• K 12 school programs •
• University undergraduate programs • • City and State Programs • • Films, TV, videos • • More •
Public education on climate science has become a key component of the major science conferences. For example: 2007 AAAS and
2006 AGU.
ClimateChangeEducation.Org will bring to this year's CCC Conference the latest and finest of education programs
available in California.
As at last year's conference, the education tables/booth will be a great place to network and discuss the building of partnerships in science education -- between researchers, educators, government agencies, and NGO's.
James Hansen of NASA, in opening of 2006 conference keynote speech: "We must bridge the vast gap between what scientists know
and what the public understands."
