Worldwide, climate change is impacting people’s daily lives, in more ways than ever before. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), populations are disproportionately vulnerable, and face major challenges in building resilience to environmental catastrophes, as a result of climate change. One of the overarching negative impacts of climate change is the manifestation of extreme weather events. Extreme weather events, as one of the consequences, lead to more heat stress, which, in turn, affects learning.

The "AI-Driven Temperature Analysis for Better Educational Environments in Tanzania" project aimed to improve learning environments in Tanzanian schools by predicting indoor classroom temperatures using a combination of artificial intelligence (AI), satellite imagery, and environmental data. This data could then be used to see where best to spend money to make low cost and practical interventions.
