CAVU and the Climate Innovation Challenge
For more than 20 years CAVU has been supporting local solutions to the climate crisis via visual storytelling and youth education programs.
Dive into CIC, our international STEAM program for students in grades 3–12! CIC is designed to spark innovative solutions to climate change while enhancing their storytelling and video-making talents.
CIC provides opportunities for students to take action as they enter a climate challenged future for the betterment of themselves, their communities, and our planet. CAVU believes that engaging youth in solutions-based education about the climate crisis provides students with a sense of agency and hope. When students engage in action, they stay in action.
