Description

* U.S. applicants should apply here.

* China applicants should use the Stanford e-China application.

This transnational, online program is for high school students from the U.S. and China with a sincere desire to connect and collaborate across cultures and learn how to tackle the climate crisis.The U.S.–China Co-Lab on Climate Solutions is a spring-term course, an active lab for collaborative practice engaging both Chinese and American students in one class as co-learners.

In this program, students will: 

  • study and experience the principles and best practices of cross-cultural collaboration;  
  • explore existing models for U.S.–China collaboration specifically; 
  • learn the fundamentals of the climate change issues facing our planet; 
  • assess local, bilateral, and global climate action so far; 
  • actively imagine their own place in the future of U.S.–China relations; and
  • gain cooperative experience and skills on climate to apply toward future studies and professions.

The program features guest speakers from the Stanford University faculty and other world-class institutions, sharing their expertise on collaborative models and strategies; environmental impacts; clean energy and energy markets; climate justice; and other topics.

Coursework will be highly interactive and discussion-oriented, with an emphasis on small-group assignments, culminating in a collaborative project that could be implemented in the students’ own communities. The program will be conducted online, using Zoom video conferencing and the Canvas course platform. Real-time meetings will be held on Friday evenings (U.S.) / Saturday mornings (China).

This is a joint program of SPICE’s Stanford e-China (for students in China) and China Scholars Program (for U.S. students) and is co-taught by SPICE instructors Carey Moncaster and Tanya Lee.
