ⵎⴰⵢ ⵉⵜⵜⵓⵙⵙⵓⵎⵏ

A digital kit (PDF guide, CSV data, and spreadsheet templates) distributed to one secondary school science class and one community club, with a teacher or facilitator overseeing a 4-week project. No physical samples; only open-access or permitted data used. Unvalidated hypothesis; full brief: /blog/128-000-year-old-ice-in-tibet-could-rewrite-clim-2026-11-01 Source: ⴰⵙⴽⵓⴷⵓ

Test if a locally contextualized kit using the Tibetan ice core data increases understanding of glacial history and climate change more than generic climate kits, as measured by pre/post surveys. Proposed validation: Proposed pilot target: 20 participants (students/community members), baseline: generic climate kit, target: 30% increase in correct answers on climate/glacier history quiz after 4 weeks, measured by pre/post survey.
