Abstract
Climate Explorations will bring OSU researchers, extension agents, and outreach staff into neighborhoods throughout Central Ohio to interact with youth through hands-on activities, and with adults through public presentations. Partnerships with local organizations provide project sites and ensure diverse audiences. The project will stream webinars that will later be available online and field-test activities to be included in a youth booklet. A Climate Collaborative will be started to coordinate climate change education initiatives in Central Ohio.
