About CAVU &
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 free STEAM program for students in grades 3–12! It’s 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.
