Agrivoltaics combines agriculture and solar energy production, using the panels to shade crops and livestock in extreme heat. New research projects are investigating agrivoltaics as a tool to fight the effects of climate change in the Southwest and generate income for farmers and ranchers. Help your students think critically about real-world problems and solutions as you investigate the trade-offs of this potential solution to the impacts of climate change.
Attending teachers will practice lessons and receive a kit of classroom materials and a $100 stipend.
Climate Change Cause and Effects in the Southwest
Who: Middle and High School Teachers
When: Tentatively scheduled for fall 2026. Updates to come.
Climate Change is a large and global issue that we struggle to wrap our minds around. Help students break it down into small pieces with local issues, data, and examples from across the Southwest. Participants will have a chance to practice or see demos of several lessons from Asombro’s free climate change curriculum. Lessons include games, models, experiments, and data analysis about climate change’s impacts on the people and ecosystems of the Southwest.
Teacher workshops are added to our schedule regularly. Please check back frequently for more information! Questions? Please contact us.
