Lens on Climate Change (LOCC) | Lentes en Cambio Climático (LECC)
The Lens on Climate Change (LOCC) program engaged Colorado middle and high school students in documenting the effects of climate change and environmental issues in their communities through film production. In collaboration with Interamericana University of Arecibo and community partners JAJA, Lentes en Cambio Climático (LECC) engaged Colorado middle and high school students in exploring climate change in their community through filmmaking in Spanish.
Guided by science and film mentors, students researched topics, planned scripts, filmed interviews, and edited their work using professional techniques. LOCC used an innovative approach to teaching science and technology & project-based, student-directed learning with a place-based hook.
