Last week, Bio4Climate brought its living, climate systems-centered education program to India for the first time through the “Soil to Sky: Cool Your City Challenge.”
Hosted in Hyderabad, India at an after-school center led by science educator Varenya Sankarsri, this three-day program reached students in Grades 1–10 with an engaging, hands-on climate learning experience. Designed by Bio4Climate Research Scientist Poulomi Chakravarty, Ph.D., and co-facilitated by Dr. Sai Gattupalli (Society & AI), the program introduced children to biodiversity through soil exploration, pollinator games, Earth-themed art, and a “Cool Your City” design challenge.
Students learned across four languages—English, Telugu, Hindi, and Bangla—creating an inclusive space where every child could participate fully.
In partnership with the Global Climate Association and Society & AI, this marked the first international rollout of Bio4Climate’s Soil to Sky Biodiversity Curriculum, developed by Beck Mordini, Poulomi Chakravarty, Paul Barringer, and Dr. Jed Katch.
This global partnership is empowering young people to see themselves as designers of climate solutions.
