Climate education made simple.
Engage your students in climate activism while preparing them for standardized testing.
Teach and lead.
Educators shape the future of our world. Footprint wants to give you the tools you need to not only teach and engage students but equip them with real-world skills and habits.
For Students
Footprint is an interactive app that empowers students to track their carbon footprints and make positive environmental change. Footprint helps students visualize their impact over time and creates fun competition and challenges.
For Teachers
The Footprint curriculum goes beyond carbon footprint calculation. We understand that educators across the world have to achieve their learning standards, so we have made our assignments customizable to your classroom’s needs.
Brought to your class by climate activists.
We’ve partnered with NewGen Peacebuilders, Literatti, Institute for Economics and Peace, and EcoRise to bring engaging, scientifically-proven curriculum to classrooms just like yours.
Studies from Harvard University show that interactive education materials can increase a student’s learning gains by over 200% as well as vastly improve retention.
Footprint focuses on habit formation. According to a study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology, it takes at least 18 days to form a habit, and the Footprint 30 day learning challenge helps turn our sustainability curriculum into a habit-forming, long-lasting opportunity to make an impact on the environment.
But at what cost?
We understand that budget constraints may be a challenge, so we offer our Footprint App program and a three-lesson package for the low cost of $5/student. We also work with you to find the best ways to fund this program - through your STEM department, local and global sponsors, class fundraisers, and even sites such as DonorsChoose.org! Contact us to get you started.
Lesson Plans
We provide you with lesson plans, slide decks, lecture notes, videos, and the virtual interface needed for students to interact with our environmental science curriculum. With competitions within the classroom as well as a series of assignments and thematic resources to accompany the app, Footprint gives students a hands-on approach to learning about climate change.
Prep Students for Testing
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Benefits
Class competitions
With class competitions, students learn about sustainability through a hands-on approach. Teaching doesn’t just have to be lecturing, experiments, or quizzes. Have your students learn about the environment while making a positive impact on our planet.
Virtual Learning
Students nowadays are well-versed in modern technology. Our unique program ensures that students are satisfying requirements while interacting virtually with each other to understand environmental impacts.
Lesson Plans
Our program begins with a traditional assignment covering the science of climate change, its’ causes, and its’ impact. We use professional external sources to compile facts related to climate change so students can interact with reliable, published material.
Customizable
Every classroom is different. We work with you to best meet the needs of your students – all while maintaining state standards of education.
State Standards
Help your students build sustainable habits while preparing them for course credit exams. We meet the requirements of the TEKS, AP Environmental Science, and IB Environmental Systems and Societies.
Interactive
Keep students engaged with your curriculum – even outside of the classroom. With fun challenges and competition between friends, your teachings go far beyond the whiteboard and into their everyday lives.
