This sixteen-week course, co-taught by artist Fred Elmore and scientist Jenny Royer, occurred twice a week in the Green Street Arts Centers afterschool program and aimed to explore and promote an understanding of global climate change issues. Using common household items and recycled waste, students simulated climate change phenomena such as the greenhouse effect, melting glaciers, and rising sea levels and produced artwork that was displayed at the Feet to the Fire Festival on May 10, 2008.
