Join us on Saturday, December 11th, to hear from youth climate activists, public policy experts, and the CEO of the world’s largest environmental nonprofit, on how we can amplify our voices as youth to leverage tech for climate action!
At this year’s TeenTechSF Global Youth Summit: “Tech for the Environment: A Closer Look at Planet Earth”, we’ll be exploring the work of a teen representative invited to the recent UN Climate Conference, the newest San Francisco Climate Action Plan unveiled this month, the global perspective of teens working on the ground in India and Indonesia, and global NGOs who are making bold investments for a more sustainable and equitable feature. We’re proud to be partnering with the worldwide #HourofCode to offer hands-on coding workshops so that you can turn your big ideas into tech solutions for the environment!
