Green Ninja – Iron Green Chef

Green Ninja: To design learning experiences that inspire student engagement in solution-based science

Green Ninja is an educational initiative to inspire interest in the science and solutions associated with our changing climate. Adventures of the Green Ninja – a superhero – are told in a youth-oriented and humorous way, but grounded in science and data. Green Ninja curriculum is used to support teachers in the classroom and promote hands-on learning experiences that are designed to meet the Next Generation Science Standards. It is a collaboration at San Jose State University.

For the Iron Green Chef episode, guess who was the chef?
