About the Coding for Climate Grant
At Forward Education, we understand that choosing the right STEAM tools 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 educational leaders like you with everything you need for a hands-on STEAM learning pilot—at no cost. You’ll receive 15 Climate Action Sample Kits, 15 micro:bits, project-based curriculum-aligned lessons, and professional development, giving your team a risk-free opportunity to experience how our platform 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 classrooms with purpose-driven STEAM education.
