Duane Friend, Climate Specialist with University of Illinois Extension, collaborated with several faculty, curriculum creators, and animation specialists to create a short course called "Integrating Climate into Extension Programming."  The course is for Extension educators, advisors and specialists who would like to incorporate climate into existing programming.  Information on climate science, communication, and interactive scenarios are included.  This presentation will cover why the course was developed, aspects of the course, and comments from those that have already completed the course.
