Event description:

How is our planet changing? Join NASA Researcher, Liza Goldberg, RightsTech Women, and partners at SDG Solution Space in Geneva on 11 December 2021. The 'Cloud to Classroom' training is an initiative of Liza Goldberg with Google, NASA and National Geographic. We will introduce girls and women aged 14 and older to how to apply pictures of Earth taken from space in understanding climate change in your local area and around the world. You will get an overview of using satellite imagery analysis and its many practical uses in today's jobs.

We will introduce you to Google Earth Engine, a satellite processing platform, to better visualize and understand climate trends such as sea level rise, temperature change, and extreme events.

We will also provide a brief update on the recent international recognition of the human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment.

You do not need to bring anything with you other than your COVID-19 vaccination certificate and ID (see below). We will provide laptops onsite that you can use during your training.

Important notes:

1. COVID-19 vaccination certificate and ID, masks and hand sanitizer: Participants and any parents waiting must show their own valid COVID certificate together with an ID. Those without COVID-19 vaccination certificates will not be admitted. Everyone present is required to wear masks while indoors, and to use the hand sanitizer provided. If you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19, please do not come, and cancel your ticket (see below). Disclaimer: In the event of a new change of local health and safety rules, this event or conditions for participation in it may be changed or cancelled. We thank you for your understanding.

3. Instructions to follow after registering: Once you register, you will receive some very easy instructions. Please follow these instructions to be sure that you can be ready to participate on the 11th of December.
4. Lunch and breaks: Lunch will be provided thanks to a donation from our sponsor, EDG. Due to updated rules in place, and the need to wear masks inside, participants must eat outside. There is an overhang area so it will be ok in case of bad weather. There is a one-hour lunch break. There will be short breaks during the morning and afternoon sessions.
5. Cancellations: If something comes up and you learn after registering that you cannot attend, please cancel your ticket in Eventbrite as soon as possible to open a space for someone else to register, and send a cancellation email including the name and email address of the registered person not attending to events (at) rightstech.org. We rely on the courtesy of everyone involved when we organize our events; please help us make sure as many girls and women participate as possible. We thank you for your comprehension and cooperation.
