My name is Craig Wardman, and I teach science at EPTS. I also coordinate the EPTS Climate Club. Before becoming a teacher, I worked as an engineer and commercial pilot. However, teaching science for the past 20 years has been the most enjoyable and rewarding job I have ever had.
I find it rewarding to provide amazing opportunities for our students through the Climate Club. These opportunities include connecting with their peers and scientists from around the world. The club has organized various activities, such as participating in the NASA Student Cloud Observation Online Program, video conferences with NASA scientists, field trips, webinars, working lunches, weather station data analysis, discussions of current weather events, and guest speakers, including NASA scientists.
Any students who have an interest in weather and the environment, or would like to participate in international projects with other students and scientists from around the world, are welcome to join!
My name is Adam Bodley-Tickell. I teach Upper Matayom biology and M2 additional science. I am one of the EPTS Climate Club coordinators. Before becoming a teacher I worked in environmental science research and also in public health. I hold both an MSc in Environmental Science, and an MA in Education.
I have a long-standing interest in environmental and conservation issues. One of the greatest challenges facing our world now and in the future is the impact of climate change on living things and their environment. Although the scientific evidence for human-caused climate change is overwhelming, there are people who continue to deny that this is the case. I feel it is essential that today’s students are actively engaged in environmental issues, with climate change at the forefront.
The EPTS Climate Club is a great way for students to learn about some of these important issues in a fun and informal setting. I hope that by participating in the club I can help our club members develop a lifelong interest and passion in the environment and ways to preserve this precious resource.
