Tackle real challenges with leading organizations —
We understand the climate crisis but struggle to act fast enough. AI can now accelerate solutions, helping us move quickly from understanding to implementation.
Learn more about our take on responsible AI
Innovation cannot come at a cost to the planet. We teach you to navigate the risks; from data bias to the carbon footprint of compute. Ensuring that every tool you build is equitable, accurate, and safe by design.
Go far beyond basic prompting. Master specific, high-leverage tools that accelerate climate action, including autonomous agents for research, data visualization platforms, and no-code app builders. All without needing a background in engineering.
Learn directly from the builders, not just instructors. Our curriculum is led by practitioners and features deep dives and guest masterclasses with experts who are currently shipping solutions at the edge of the climate tech ecosystem.
Join a vibrant network of peers and partners moving from learning to doing. You’ll gain access to a global community of 7,000+ alumni where fellows routinely find co-founders, secure investment, and launch lasting climate ventures.
Open House Recording: Building Climate Solutions with AI: A Terra Studio Open House• Jan 13
Terra Studio is a comprehensive architecture for action. It combines a rigorous six-week intensive with a year-long community membership, giving you the network and the AI & ML tooling needed to solve climate challenges faster.
Application Deadline: May 11, 2026
The core Intensive is a six-week sprint. You join a small squad and ship a tangible artifact every week culminating in a final demo day. This is followed by an annual membership to our community of practice.
Designed for shipping while working. The schedule blends a 90-minute live sync with asynchronous deep dives and an assignment unlock, totalling just 6–10 hours per week.
You will ship datasets, dashboards, workflows, or chatbots. Bring your own context or tackle a real-world brief to solve an actual climate bottleneck.
You bring the domain expertise; we provide the stack know-how. We teach you to use AI for data gathering and storytelling, always prioritizing human-in-the-loop ethics over blind automation.
Studio graduates get year-long access to on-the-ground high-impact projects. We source live project briefs from leading organizations across climate, policy, and venture ecosystems.
Our curriculum is designed and led by practitioners who are building at the edge of climate and tech.

Get an inside look at Terra Studio and see what makes our program unique. Watch our recent open house session to learn about the curriculum, meet the faculty, and discover how we're building the future of AI for climate action.
The Studio is designed to be flexible, requiring as little as six hours per week to gain comfort with different AI aspects, though you may choose to invest significantly more time—such as 12 hours—on specific topics like storytelling or agentic workflows that resonate with your personal goals.
No technical skills required. We teach you everything from scratch with hands-on projects. The focus is on practical application - learning to use AI tools effectively for climate work. If you can navigate a spreadsheet or write an email, you have the skills to start.
You'll create real AI-powered projects like datasets, dashboards, and chatbots for climate action. These are tools you can actually use in your work, whether that's analyzing climate data, automating research tasks, or building resources for your organization or community.
The Studio is co-created by Terra's leadership team and taught by climate tech leaders and AI experts with real-world experience building solutions at Terra.do and partner organizations. Our instructors are actively using these tools to solve climate problems and will share what's actually working in practice.
You get a full year of community access with ongoing masterclasses, networking opportunities, and most importantly - real project work with leading climate organizations like Goonj and Audubon Society. The learning continues at graduation as you apply these skills to actual climate challenges.
Monthly option available for read-only access. Scholarships & PPP pricing available.
Cohort starts May 18, 2026
Application Deadline: May 11, 2026
A rigorous sprint. Move from theory to shipment with weekly builds and deliverables.
Studio graduates get exclusive access to live briefs. Contribute to actual projects that solve real climate bottlenecks.
Year-round access to exclusive events, demos, and expert workshops.
No! The Intensive is designed for non-technical and semi-technical professionals. We focus on no-code tools and AI capabilities that anyone can learn.
This course is for people who want to make a meaningful impact on climate today, not someday. It’s designed for professionals, career switchers, founders, and practitioners who care deeply about climate outcomes and want practical tools, structure, and support to move from intention to action—whether or not they have prior experience with AI or technology.
This program is built around real climate problems and real-world application. You work on live briefs, learn responsible and practical uses of AI, and ship tangible projects alongside practitioners who are actively building in climate.
Expect to commit 6-10 hours per week during the 6-week Intensive. This includes live sessions, team collaboration, and building your weekly project.
While we cover GenAI, we also explore data analysis, visualization, and automation. The goal is to solve problems, not just use the latest hype.
Terra.do is committed to accessibility. We offer financial aid and purchasing power parity (PPP) pricing. Please apply and let us know your situation.
