The Purpose Of My Work
Designing maker projects that spark a curiosity for understanding climate change and empower individual and collective action.

THE POWER OF EMOTION
Reading online news articles about the devastating impacts of climate change, made me want to know HOW and WHY it is happening.
ENGAGING THE ENERGY OF YOUTH

Today’s youth have the most to lose and can be effective “influencers” in motivating parents to make sustainable, zero-carbon decisions. They gain knowledge and confidence by participating in group after-school projects like this one.
CULTURAL ACTION MATTERS

We need non-intimidating creative activities for sharing climate change and ecological concepts.
PERSONAL INTERESTS MOTIVATE LEARNING

This was an example of how project-based learning can motivate research, critical thinking, focus, skill-building, experimentation, and perseverance among other resilience skills.
SOLUTIONS-DREAMING

Kids love animals and their empathy, from learning about species extinction, could seed dreams of fantasy solutions to save them. Imagination is not frivolous… it’s the mother-of-invention 🙂
BECOME EMPOWERED!

My FREE, “How-To” Workshop Video can be a fun, first-step climate action to reduce climate-anxiety, for teacher-training, or at corporate and NGO “visioning” retreats to build group ideation, cohesion and resilience!
MY “GO-TO” INFO SOURCES
I learn about discoveries, inventions, and actions people are taking in response to climate change because it is a huge source of hope! You can also learn what YOU can do. (see “SOLUTIONS” in site-menu)
