This project engages teachers and community members in Arecibo, Puerto Rico through a workshop on climate science which grows out of a need for climate science activities identified during a student program held last summer. Our local partners work with teachers and organize community events that explore locally-relevant science topics. Our workshop in January 2019 is a two-day event that includes both climate science and hazard preparation activities. All teacher participants receive professional development credit, a requirement for recertification, and tools to help them implement activities in their classes. The community event following the workshop will include a disaster-scenario game, a screening of the student films made in our summer workshop, and a facilitated discussion around climate impacts.
