The Classroom Cooling Pulse
A Year-Long Design Challenge To Cool Your Classroom Before Summer 2027
Measure It, Cool It, Prove It
The Classroom Cooling Pulse is a free 169to1 tool for a year-long classroom cooling design challenge. Over the 2026–27 school year, students audit one classroom, design ways to cool it, test their ideas and report a measured result against a target of 6 to 10°C. Every result comes from readings taken in the room itself.
Schools can take part on Track A, using changes that cost nothing, or Track B, with funding for measures such as external shading, cool roofs or planting. A separate Funding Challenge asks which solution gives the lowest cost for each degree of cooling per year.
The tool covers science, art and design, and design and technology. It includes 19 cooling measures, 10 case studies and six printable lessons, all linked to GreenComp and the SDGs. It is built for schools in the UK, the EU and Türkiye.

The Classroom Cooling Pulse
A year-long design challenge in which students audit one classroom, design ways to cool it, test them and report a measured result against a target of 6 to 10°C. Every result comes from readings taken in the room itself, with a free track and a funded track, a cost-per-degree calculator and printable lessons for science, art and design, and design and technology.
Built for schools in the UK, the EU and Türkiye. Aligned to GreenComp (JRC, 2022) and 10 SDG targets across SDGs 4, 7, 9, 11, 12 and 13, with the Education for Climate Coalition's 2026 priority of intergenerational fairness built in.
