Hi ! I am a graduated Environmental Engineer and Geoscientist. For a couple of years, I taught Environmental Science in an Franco-American High School Program. I now pursue my PhD research in the Geoscience Research Lab at University of Rennes. My research focuses on fostering nature connectedness and pro-environmental behaviours among High School & University students, through hands-on outdoor activities.

I'm Keshav Narang, a senior at Stanford Online High School (Class of 2024) hailing from the dynamic Silicon Valley in the Bay Area, California.

Growing up in the Bay Area has profoundly influenced my interests and values. Observing the devastating impact of a prolonged drought, such as the vanishing creeks in local parks, the shifting patterns of migratory birds, and the withering of once lush grass, heightened my awareness of the urgent need for sustainability. This experience ignited my passion for environmental engineering and the role of technology in safeguarding our planet. I am dedicated to driving positive change and actively engaging with individuals affected by fossil fuel projects, with the aim of raising awareness and fostering a more sustainable future.

My primary objective is to contribute to global efforts in limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. To achieve this, I am focused on connecting with and supporting an interconnected network of future voices and leaders through my nonprofit organization, GreenTeamPower. Additionally, I co-founded multiple startups and am the chief technical officer and co-inventor of a patent for ASK, a company that manufactures solar panels with integrated energy storage. By spearheading the integration of technical solutions with people-driven activism and government engagement, I collaborate to drive policy changes that genuinely benefit our planet and society.

I am both a home educator to my two children and homeschool group educator to many. I enjoy adventuring in the foothills of western North Carolina with my family and two dogs.

Rachel grauated from the University of Tampa with a B.S. in natural science she is currently working on her Masters at Miami University in the Project Dragonfly program, and is expected to grauate in December 2023.

Rachel first got into enviromental education when working with sea turtles in Australia; where she started to lead the educational tours. She has worked as an environemental educator across the county in places such as Juneau, Alaska, the north Georgia mountains, and the Georgia barier islands. She has served in two AmeriCorps positions in New Hampshire and Jakson Hole, Wyoming. Rachel currently resides in her hometown as a 4-H program assistant where she visits elementary classrooms teaching science education. She has also created a 4-H wildlife judging team with local members of the 4-H program, and continues to create environmental educational oppertunities for her 4-H members. 

Rachel has two cats named Lady Fluff and Minnie Mouser.

In all of her work, she aims to optimize health, increase well-being, and support people living life in harmony with the natural world and fully in alignment with their values. She also is the Director of Education and Outreach at Outdoors By Owner. 

I am a professor of Science Teaching and Learning at the University of Washington. My research interests deal with teaching climate change and studying the early career development of science teachers—in particular, their trajectories toward ambitious and equitable pedagogy. This is my new book: Teaching Climate Change: Fostering Understanding, Resilience, And A Commitment To Justice. By Harvard Ed Press.
