The Cool Planet Experience is a non-profit organization and visitor centre on a mission to educate, engage and inspire climate action in an interesting and exciting way. Our inquiry based education programme is interactive and hands on. Combining the tour and a climate related workshop, students can investigate, experiment, question and learn, all while having fun. The programme is curriculum-linked and designed to ignite curiosity in STEAM subjects. The typical school visit combines the interactive tour and a workshop led by one of our Planeteers. Duration 3 hours.

In April 2021 Cool Planet Experience launched RewriteClimate, an inspiring interactive online programme for post-primary schools, TY in particular. It clearly explains why climate change is happening, but emphasises the solutions to climate change and the opportunities for students within the climate space. With options for 6 or 12 lessons and offline activities, it is particularly suitable for transition year students.

Blended learning - combining video, animation and quizzes, it is an interactive, optimistic and fun experience! The Programme includes complementary offline activities, for example: an up-cycling fashion project, or an investigative journalism assignment. Career opportunities are highlighted through inspirational contributions from young people whose work is part of the climate solution.

RewriteClimate examines the fundamentals of climate change and the many different everyday touchpoints in our lives, from energy and transport to food and fashion. Online lessons take approximately 1hour, students go at their own pace and can participate on any device. The Programme qualifies for the Gaisce Award under Community Involvement and Personal Skill.
