Climate Quest is a 7-day intensive course that combines climate science and video production. Students will learn the basic science of climate, the impact of climate change on the Pacific Northwest and beyond, and efforts to adapt to and mitigate climate change. Students will produce videos that creatively interpret climate change in the Puget Sound region in 2050 to communicate what they've learned to thier peers and others. The course incorporates active learning projects, discussions with guests from the UW climate faculty and the Seattle business and government communites, and the opportunity to witness climate change first-hand in the field. One college credit is available for this camp through UW Extension.

This summer program is also listed on the UW Program on Climate Change Web site.
