Whose Data Counts
Community Knowledge, AI Tools & Climate Advocacy
AI is showing up everywhere in climate and environmental education right now. It is often sold as a miracle, rarely discussed alongside its real environmental cost, and almost never examined for who it actually serves.
BIPOC communities are too often positioned as recipients of expert data rather than holders of their own environmental knowledge.
This workshop names that tension directly and gives educators a working framework instead of a binary. Participants move past the "AI good or bad" debate and get hands-on with real, low-footprint tools (community air sensors, citizen science apps, and story-mapping platforms) that pair lived experience with the data-driven evidence decision-makers respond to.
Who This Is For
K-12 educators, informal educators, and district PD teams seeking culturally responsive, equity-centered climate education.
What You'll Walk Away With
-
A practical framework for evaluating any data or AI tool: who collects it, who owns it, who benefits, and what it costs
-
Hands-on experience with low-cost, high-impact tools (community air sensors, citizen science apps, story-mapping)
-
A model for centering community knowledge alongside new technology, scoped to real school funding and access constraints
