CBTIS Hosts Climate Kids Training for 26 Educators in Mexico

Our partners at Centro de Bachillerato Tecnológico Industrial y de Servicios (CBTIS) hosted a Climate Kids training for 26 educators in Mexico! The educators learned from Alliance partners Aidé Escalante and Meliza Le Alvarado on how to use the Climate Kids Trunks for hands-on science, art, and storytelling activities in the classroom.

Our Climate Kids educators in Mexico are excited and motivated to implement climate science education in their classrooms! Centro de Bachillerato Tecnológico Industrial y de Servicios (CBTIS) 146 in Playas de Tijuana, Mexico is a Climate Kids Hub location and in the Fall of 2025 hosted an interactive educator training using the Climate Kids Travelling Trunks. Long time educational partner, Aidé Escalante collaborated with marine biologist Meliza Le Alvarado, to teach the training participants how to use the Climate Kids trunks to teach climate topics and implement classroom strategies for hands-on science, art, and storytelling. 

At the training teachers explored the curriculum in each thematic trunk, while also engaging hands on with a few highlighted activities. CBTIS high school students (Climate Kids ambassadors!) assisted in demonstrating a few lessons to the training participants, such as the visualizing  incomplete combustion lesson, to learn about climate change. Aidé expressed, “the trunks will be useful for teachers to work in an interdisciplinary way. The students will be able to connect better and understand how science is interconnected with our social way of life”.

We are so thankful to Aidé, Meliza, CBTIS, and to all the outstanding teachers who participated in the training.
