Join us this spring to celebrate Day of Climate at the MIT Museum.

Join us this spring as we celebrate Day of Climate at the MIT Museum, a dynamic event dedicated to celebrating the innovative climate work being done at MIT and by passionate learners and educators who are leading work at schools and in their own communities. Inspired by the successful Day of AI, this event aims to bring together a community of like-minded individuals who are committed to addressing the pressing challenges of climate change. It will highlight the significant contributions of MIT researchers, educators, and students in the field of climate science and sustainability.

On Wednesday, April 16, Day of Climate will bring together MIT faculty, educators, learners, and local community members to celebrate the incredible efforts of K-12 learners tackling climate change. The event will feature inspiring speakers, including Jaylen Brown, NBA Champion and Finals MVP for the Boston Celtics and MIT Media Lab Director’s fellow, Claudia Urrea, Executive Director of the MIT pK-12 Initiative, Chris Knittel, Faculty Director, MIT CATE and Director, MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, Pete Bouchard, NBC Boston’s award-winning chief meteorologist, Yashasvi Raj, a PhD student doing cutting edge research in climate science, and a panel of thoughtful educators and youth, providing insights into the latest climate research, innovative solutions, and effective advocacy strategies.

Beyond this event, Day of Climate is a broad new initiative dedicated to equipping K-12 learners and educators with the tools and knowledge to better understand climate change, its impacts, and potential solutions through free, concise, hands-on resources, activities, and curricula. Awarding nearly $125k in grants to support curriculum development to seven groups across the Institute, this effort unites the MIT community and educators, locally and globally, in empowering the next generation to take meaningful action on climate and sustainability challenges.
