Join us for a free HEART Force workshop designed to help you bring real-world relevance into your classroom. Learn how to engage students through:

  • Authentic data analysis

  • Resilience action projects rooted in your local community

This workshop features classroom-ready curriculum from HEART Force aimed at helping students understand and strengthen their community’s resilience to wildfire.

The curriculum is plug-and-play and fully adaptable to your needs—whether you're planning a week-long unit or a semester-long deep dive.

The unit is a perfect jumping off point for teachers implementing the Colorado Seal of Climate Literacy, with curricula that teaches to climate literacy principles and scaffolding for student experiential learning projects.
