Berkeley High celebrated Earth Month with the third annual Universal Ninth Grade Climate Conference on April 18th. The event is the culmination of a week of climate learning in ninth grade core classes. Students have the opportunity to explore climate solutions through hands-on workshops from local experts. This year, students selected from a huge variety of workshop topics including climate storytelling, sustainable agriculture, art-making for the revolution, cooking from local ingredients, creek restoration, climate resiliency hubs, solar energy, and many more!
