The free, family-friendly celebration features film screenings, art workshops, gourmet meals, stimulating science talks and more.
Columbia climate school contributions include inspiring performance fight trash, a band that uses reused and repurposed materials to make music and raise awareness about environmental challenges. Children will also have the opportunity to create their own instruments from reusable materials and play them together in the musical parade.
Climate Schools is also giving away illustrated comic cards featuring our local scientists Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatoryas part of our ongoing effort to make science fun and accessible to children, families and the public.
