    Young participants (ages 11-16) will take on the role of innovators on a mission, using GeoAI, combining AI and digital maps, to explore and address real-world climate challenges in extreme environments. Through a game-based roleplay, teams will compete to develop the most impactful solution and be named Champion Planet Protectors.

    Through a hands-on design challenge, participants will investigate issues such as heatwaves, flooding, and environmental change across diverse regions. Using Google Earth, they will explore satellite imagery, apply map layers, and identify vulnerable areas by analyzing features such as water systems, land use, and infrastructure.

    Participants will also engage with simple, beginner-friendly AI tools such as Google Teachable Machine to understand how AI can detect patterns, monitor environmental change, and support decision-making, no coding required.

    Working in teams, they will:

    • Select a region or case study affected by climate extremes
    • Map key challenges using Google Earth
    • Explore emerging AI solutions (e.g. early warning systems, climate monitoring) and be introduced to how GeoAI works for mapping climate data via Google Teachable Machine
    • Design their own GeoAI solution based on their insights

    The workshop fosters creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, showing how technology and local knowledge can work together. Participants will present their ideas and gain insight into how GeoAI supports climate resilience and sustainable development.

     

    Learning objectives:

    By the end of the workshop, learners will be able to:

    1. Explain how artificial intelligence and digital maps (GeoAI) can be used to understand and respond to climate challenges in extreme environments.
    2. Identify and analyze climate risks (e.g. flooding, heatwaves) using geospatial tools such as Google Earth.
    3. Apply basic AI concepts using beginner-friendly tools such as Google Teachable Machine to explore how patterns and environmental changes can be detected.
    4. Design a creative GeoAI-based solution that addresses a real-world climate challenge in a specific region.
    5. Present and justify their solution, demonstrating how it contributes to climate action and sustainable development.
