Pauline Rutter

This document describes the Sciencebook Trust (TST), a nonprofit organization that aims to encourage understanding of STEM topics related to climate change, sustainability, and innovation among young people. It does this through an online book at www.sciencebook.org.uk and engaging activities. TST collaborates with individuals, organizations, and young people to inspire the next generation. It uses an intergenerational and cross-sector model of engagement and communication to benefit a wide, inclusive network. The document provides examples of past events and contributions from scientists, educators, and students to the online book. It outlines plans to expand content and reach more young people through various youth organizations.

WWW.SCIENCEBOOK.ORG.UK Comments in 2011: ¡°My favourite idea mentioned on Sciencebook is the conception of what climate change could be doing to marine life and the ocean environments that cover over 70 percent of the planet. Images of the earth from space show the vast enormity of the world¡¯s oceans, which are home to many types of marine creatures. However as well as the number of sea creatures that live here, climate change will also profoundly affect humans as the world¡¯s oceans are essential to us as they regulate our climate, produce oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through processes such as photosynthesis. ¡° Age 14 Didcot Girls¡¯ School
