Students deserve an education relevant to the future they will inhabit.
Climate Cycle supports this by providing equipment and education to schools that bring personal and planetary sustainability to life. By exercising both body and mind, an experiential approach to learning is fostered that helps students better understand energy, climate, and what they can do to better the health of their earth and themselves.
ReGeneration Stations are the programmatic cornerstone for Climate Cycle’s mission of Empowering ReGeneration. These consist of stationary bike generators powered by students that charge “Energy Banks” and run classroom appliances. Multiple metrics are aggregated by the Energy Bank that can be integrated into existing math and science curriculum, embodying a whole new level of classroom “exercises”.
ReGeneration Station Cycle
ReGeneration Station recipients partner with Climate Cycle in a 3 part process:
Imagination: Interested schools are introduced to how previous recipients have woven a ReGeneration Station into their school fabric. This enables them to better envision how a ReGeneration Station might come to life both inside and outside the classroom. They then submit these ideas via a Climate Cycle grant application. Recipient schools move to Step 2 below.
Inauguration: A ReGeneration Station Installation for recipient schools kicks off with an all school STEM to STEAM assembly where the system is unveiled and students are educated on the subjects of regenerative energy and climate. A key component of these assemblies includes Raptivism: a unique approach to learning that uses original rap music to inspire environmental activism and education through hip-hop.
Implementation: From math and science integration to PE and special events, there are many ways a ReGeneration Station can empower students and school culture while helping meet NGSS and CCLS standards.
