The Kalamazoo Section held three hands-on climate science workshops for non-science groups, including faith communities and secondary educators, who could earn continuing education credits.  The ACS Climate Change Toolkit served as a springboard for sessions on the scientific evidence of climate change, the response of the planet and biosphere, and technological, personal, and policy decisions that have an impact on climate.  Participants received a digital takeaway (USB flash drive) with workshop materials and lists.  Pre- and post-workshop assessments were carried out.  An examination of this approach and its efficacy will be discussed.
