MIT Day of Climate professional development

As part of MIT's Day of Climate, this professional development session is for Earth Story: Building With The Ground We Walk On For Climate Resilience.

Globally, construction accounts for nearly 40% of annual carbon emissions. At the same time, many cities need to grow rapidly to provide equitable housing for their inhabitants. The project will build a hands-on curriculum focused on exploring and creating new innovation in the critical area of low-carbon, low-cost housing. It will engage 3D printing with locally sourced materials to rapidly prototype structures with students that speak to a climate-resilient future of building and design. 

To make the curriculum more broadly accessible, lesson plans and web based tools will be produced to allow students of all ages and subjects to engage with the research to understand climate change and the work being done to create resilient cities.

Register for this in-person professional development session.
