About the Coding for Climate Grant

At Forward Education, we understand that choosing the right STEAM tools for your district can be overwhelming. With so many options, it’s hard to feel confident about where to invest your time and resources.

That’s why we created the Coding for Climate Grant. This grant provides district leaders like you with everything you need to run a small pilot—at no cost. You’ll receive 15 Climate Action Sample Kits, 15 micro:bits, hands-on curriculum aligned lessons, and professional development, giving your team a risk-free opportunity to experience how our technology engages students in coding, climate literacy, and real-world green careers.

This isn’t just about teaching coding—it’s about empowering the next generation to solve real-world challenges. Together, we can inspire students to build a better future. Apply today and take the first step toward transforming your district with purpose-driven STEAM education.
