\begin{abstract}
The impacts of climate change are being felt across the country, with
wildfire seasons getting longer and more severe and flooding occurring
more frequently. Colorado has experienced significant extreme weather
events in the last ten years and, consequently, has begun a statewide
effort to incorporate resilience into short- and long-term planning
across state and local governments. As cities and counties undergo
resilience planning processes, today's students (tomorrow's leaders) are
often unaware of these efforts and are left out of the planning process.
The HEART Force curriculum empowers students with the knowledge needed
to participate (and lead) the resilience conversation in their own
community, with place-based hazard education that includes a
scenario-based role-play game and design thinking to create resilience
strategies in their community. The curricular unit culminates with a
resilience expo, where students engage with community members as
resilience experts and share their ideas. HEART is a novel approach in
that it uses several current instructional strategies (place-based
learning, project-based learning, gamification, and design thinking) to
empower students to engage with their community. If students want to
implement their resilience projects that arise from the curriculum,
mini-grants are available to fund projects. The HEART program is
currently in its second year of piloting in rural and urban Colorado
schools. We will present preliminary evaluation findings and share
curriculum and program design strategies.%
