Barefoot's newest resource, Carbon Quest

The Barefoot Team is excited to bring you their new resource, Carbon Quest! In this engaging activity, pupils collect data on the use of different technological devices to find out which produces the most carbon dioxide. With the help of secondary data, they draw conclusions and create animations using Scratch to share their findings. Through Carbon Quest, pupils explore how technology impacts carbon emissions, examine different devices used in school, and discuss the environmental effects of greenhouse gases.
