This spring, Planet Bee’s Coding for Conservation program invited over 600 middle school students to use coding, sensors, and real environmental data to explore native bee activity. Through hands-on learning with Micro and Smart Native Bee Houses, students didn’t just learn to code, they learned how scientists use data to understand and protect pollinators. The result: a powerful bridge from classroom learning to climate action.

Planet Bee was given the exciting opportunity to participate in the event, with Dr. Jamie Chan, Executive Director of Planet Bee Foundation, speaking on a Rotary panel to discuss our shared values of preserving biodiversity and the power of community science in advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

We believe that sharing the stories of diverse voices in STEM is essential to fostering innovation in science and conservation.
