In late 2016, concerned about the incoming administration's commitment to the Paris Climate Accord, Anne Lee and students in Sammamish, WA, co-founded Schools Under 2C. This student-led organization aims to raise climate change awareness among students globally.

Schools Under 2C, with 80 members, has significantly reduced Tesla STEM high school's monthly carbon footprint by over two tons. Lee implemented composting, lighting reduction, and a transportation incentive app. Now, 30 schools worldwide have pledged to join the "Under 2C challenge," replicating these efforts.

Published on February 19, 2015, the discussion "Dissecting the Diversity Problem: How Can Leadership Make an Impact?" addressed the critical lack of representation in digital technology. Despite the ubiquity of tech, its creators—who increasingly influence policy—rarely reflect the populations most impacted. Women and people of color comprise less than 30% of STEM professionals, a figure that has declined since 1990, highlighting a systemic failure.

This vital conversation, under the theme "Technology for the People, by the People," featured insights from U.S. CTO Megan Smith, FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel, New America President Anne-Marie Slaughter, and Code for Progress Program Director Aliya Rahman. The panel also included Open Technology Institute's Georgia Bullen and was moderated by Alan Davidson.

Geologist David Montgomery and biologist Anne Biklé, authors of the influential "Dirt Trilogy" (Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations; The Hidden Half of Nature; and Growing A Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life), preview their forthcoming book, "You Are What Your Food Ate." They present scientific evidence demonstrating how soil health profoundly impacts the health of crops, animals, and ultimately humans. Their work highlights the critical link between soil life and food's nutritional quality, emphasizing that regenerative farming practices benefit both the land and human health.
