We worked with the middle school students in the Nueva Vista after school program Oct/Nov 2015

The students learned about Climate Change and the threats of sea level rise through guided internet research.

They then investigated solutions and made art projects to illustrate them.

The art was done on cloth panels using fabric crayons and permanent markers. The panels were sewn into a quilt, which is on display in the Community Center.

Three 45 min activities used to start the quilt project  (students really needed longer on the basics but this was all the time we had!)

     Week 1,   Week 2,  Week 3  

The educators were Roland Saher and Pauline Seales, who greatly appreciated the support of center director Edgar Landeros

Ricardo's topic was an electric Tesla car

 Beni did a complex diagram showing potential future production of oil from Algae

Mario and Emiliano showed how climate change can cause

deserts and displace species

 Enrique Illustrated the concept of methane energy from trash

 Janet showed Ocean Acidification in great detail
