WISE in rural China recognized as "Exceptional Project"

UC Berkeley graduate student and WISE researcher Li Weiying has led a successful and highly impactful collaboration with science teachers in rural Wuhan, China over the past year. The teachers implemented a WISE Global Climate Change unit with their students and, together with Weiying, wrote a report in December 2020 comparing the WISE classroom with traditional Chinese classrooms. The project report has recently been evaluated as an “Exceptional Project” by the Wuhan city Department of Education and Education Society.

Here is the certificate they received:
