New Academy Lawrence Hall of Science at UN World Environment Day 2005 Governor's Historic Address ClimateChangeEduc'n.Org invites science centers to be part of booths at events like these. While the museums below were not able to send staff to be with us in the AAAS conference booths, we did highlight their programs on climate change and/or energy for the public at Family Science Days.

California Academy of Sciences booth: When it returns to Golden Gate Park in 2008, the academy's new home will be the largest public green building in the U.S. -- itself an exhibit to how we can stop global warming. Global Warming Discovery, as seen in the AAAS stage show, is also a public program at the California Academy of Sciences-- where outstanding high school interns regularly present the demonstration to the public.
Exploratorium stage show at the AAAS Family Science Days. The Exploratorium broadcast live web casts on Climate Change from the American Geophysical Union conference in San Francisco: like the 2007 AAAS Conference, an example of the wonderful things that happen when science conferences and science museums work together to connect with the public. Lawrence Livermore Lab, within the University of California, is involved in education programs on climate change and energy. This includes a teacher training program working in partnership with Cal State East Bay. (formerly Cal State Hayward) AAAS's Family Science Days, with dozens of booths, was attended by thousands on Saturday and Sunday February 17 & 18, 2007. These web pages focus on those booths with material relating to climate change, energy and global warming solutions. The University of Idaho's booth included a demo on the production of biodiesel fuel. University of Idaho's biodiesel car.
