We launched AirMiners Boot Up earlier this year to help remove gigatons of carbon from the air. Boot Up helps newcomers to the carbon removal industry understand the solutions, terms, and current players in carbon removal, and network with others who are joining the industry.

The core program is a four-week online course to learn the science and the dynamics of the carbon removal space and network with other people joining the carbon removal industry. Teams are matched in a group, such as #team-Quokka here on the right.

With the success of the first cohorts of Boot Up, we’ve been able to help hundreds of people learn more about carbon removal.

Now, as Boot Up continues to grow we’re looking for the right person to join the team. Please review the description below and if this sounds like you, please apply!

(Hey what’s all the stuff about badgers? Well, each Boot Up team gets assigned an animal for their team name, like Quokka, Giraffe, or Walrus. The administration team for AirMiners Boot Up has been using #team-badger since the beginning :)
