GLOBAL GAMBLE!

​

GLOBAL GAMBLE! is an in-school educational program that combines high energy sketch comedy with improvisation to entertain and educate students through a fun and interactive experience. The program focuses on four key science-based messages encouraging sustainable consumption, energy efficiency, and conservation - with a core focus on STEM and green careers.

 

Students in grades 5-10 will learn about energy, climate change and global warming through four fact filled sketches. Throughout, audience members and student volunteers are encouraged to offer suggestions that the actors will incorporate into the action.
The result is that students have input into the show while watching it!

 

• The effects of energy use on our planet
• What is global climate change
• Ways to reduce your carbon footprint
• STEM education and green careers
