About Coding for Climate Action
This spring, Amazon Future Engineer, the micro:bit Foundation, and the National Science Teacher Association are partnering to launch Coding for Climate Action - an elementary and middle school learning program that teaches students how to use computer science to protect the planet! Students learn the basics of computer science and apply their new skills to code a micro:bit invention to combat a climate change challenge in their community. Five partner school districts, 40 teachers, and 2,000 students are piloting the program this spring.
