Why Innovate for Climate Change?
Young people are concerned about the future of the planet and want to make a difference. They need green skills for future jobs and the world needs their talent and innovation to take action on the climate crisis.
9 out of 10 teachers think climate change education should be compulsory in schools, yet only 3 in 10 feel equipped to teach it. To address this challenge, we’ve created Innovate for Climate Change with our Youth Advisory Board, and climate, education and tech experts. It's 100% free of charge to schools and on demand teacher training means it's simple to deliver.
The course is mapped to UK computing curriculums, providing climate action education and digital literacy skills. In just 7 sessions, groups of students can design an app to act on climate change. Skills Builder accreditation ensures the course develops the essential skills students need, while giving opportunities to practise them with industry experts.

The course is really helping the students because they feel like they’re engaged in an activity that is making a change.
I’m happy to learn about climate change because I want to learn about what we can do to stop destroying our planet
The course puts climate change into a real and relevant context - I feel as though they’re empowered and can make an impact.
Now I know a lot more about climate change, I’ve found I can do a lot more to stop it and I’m not as worried as I was before.
