Middle School students enjoyed the opportunity to learn from the first ICGL scholar who is also a Pace alumnus. 

Andrew Hoffman started his presentation about Climate with personal stories about what matters to him, and in particular why it is important to him to maintain positivity even when things seem difficult. Mr. Hoffman shared that even though there are a lot of 'doom scrolling' opportunities about climate, there are many stories about progress being made. He shared data about positive trends, explained exciting new technologies - including his own company's Virtual Power Plant, and brainstormed ways that little actions we can take today can have a big impact for the future.
