Message from Dr. Nan Renner, Climate Champions Director:

Esteemed CS Educators,

The Climate Champions team at UC San Diego is pleased to share a new open-source high school curriculum designed for use in AP Computer Science Principles, Data Science, Math and Science classes.

Climate Change, Data Science, and Computing, a unit with five lessons, addresses essential themes such as generating knowledge from data, big data, use of algorithms, and crowdsourcing. A sixth lesson, under development, will focus on climate models.

Please consider reviewing, field testing, and using with your students!
