Today, Change is Simple came to EES. (Thank you Mr. Koeplin, whose company sponsored this!!). In case you are wondering who they are:
They are an organization of scientists/educators whose mission is to instill lifelong social and environmental responsibility through experiential learning that inspires action for healthy people, planet & community.
From the food we eat, to the energy we use and products we buy, each of our daily actions adds up to leave an impact on our world. Dozens of small changes can be made everyday to live more sustainably. Change is Simple has turned this into a supercharged STEM program. They mobilize their team to elementary & middle schools, transforming classrooms into ecosystems and construction zones, kids into scientists and engineers. Kids use real-world science tools and project-based learning to create real-world impacts. Led by college mentors and STEM professionals, our workshops and curriculum inspire children to achieve academic success and become mindful participants in creating a healthier and more sustainable future.
