Smithsonian Education Online
Conference on Climate Change
From September 29 through October

Climate Change, a Smithsonian Education Online Conference.
Through live presentations and a
moderated Q&A forum, Smithsonian scientists, curators, and educators will
explore Smithsonian research and collections related to the evidence, impact,
and response to climate change. They’ll look at the issues
surrounding climate change from the perspectives of science, history, and art
and demonstrate resources for use in the classroom.
Registration for the conference is
free and open to everyone. The entire online conference will be archived
for replay at any time. For the conference program and registration, go
