Grades 9-122 hoursSource: Creative Dad Company

Students act as climate adaptation consultants, pulling real public climate and geography data for their own town to recommend concrete local interventions—like better shade cover or flood-smart landscaping. It grounds a huge global topic in something walkable.

Prep: 10 minActivity: 30 min1 session~$2/groupOne table for the Climate Adaptation Consultancy evidence and prototypeBeginner-friendly

Setup

Print or handwrite the four Climate Adaptation Consultancy challenge steps and place common paper supplies on one table. Prepare one small sample, dataset, scenario, or recycled-material model drawn directly from the project description; no device, paid tool, room decoration, or purchased kit is required.

Activity

  1. Read the Climate Adaptation Consultancy challenge aloud, then pull real public data on local temperature, rainfall, or flooding trends and predict which risk matters most for the town.
  2. Use paper, index cards, recycled objects, or facilitator-provided sample data to map out a specific vulnerable area—like a low-lying street or a shadeless playground—and sketch an intervention.
  3. Run one tabletop trial and estimate the cost and impact of the intervention and discover it doesn't fully solve the problem, then scale or combine it with a second fix.
  4. Finish by present the adaptation plan to a mock town council with the data behind every recommendation; record the evidence that supports the decision.

Done when: The group completes a defensible Climate Adaptation Consultancy solution, records at least one test result or comparison, changes one claim or design in response, and supports its final decision with that evidence.
