Our CEO and Founder Christopher Lloyd spoke about how to inspire children with a lifelong love of learning at PINC 2023 in Sarasota. The education system has not created a good environment for curiosity to flourish. It's important to ask children what they're interested in, not tell them what they need to know. The '5 Wows' will help children to connect knowledge together and give it a more lasting impact: 1) Big picture. 2) Using our hands. 3) Visualisation. 4) Discovery. 5) Choice. At What on Earth! we put the '5 Wows' into our books, resources, and What on Earth! Magazine.
Never has there been a more important time to empower children to take the lead and educate their grown-ups about climate change. Listen to Patricia Daniels, the brilliant author behind How to Teach Grown-Ups About Climate Change talk about how this delightfully witty book deals with the pressing topic of our changing planet in an uplifting, positive manner. Featuring a foreword by internationally renowned climate scientist Dr Michael E. Mann and bursting with fabulous original illustrations by Aaron Blecha.
