At the University of Washington, she double majored in Political Science and Environmental Studies, focusing on how systems shape access to environmental spaces and experiences. It also influenced what she chose to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summer 2025, Kaylin joined CoSEE through the UW Program on the Environment Capstone. Her project started with a practical question: how can books be made more usable for environmental education? The work centered on CoSEE\u2019s Adaptive Library, a growing set of environmentally themed children\u2019s books adapted for learners who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), including picture boards and speech-generating devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Environmental education hasn\u2019t consistently been designed with these tools in mind. Kaylin\u2019s project focused on closing that gap, one book at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coming back to keep it going<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>She came back in December 2025 under the ClimeTime grant, which supports climate education through storytelling. With more time, she developed a repeatable process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For each book, she looks for moments where a reader might lose context or need another way in, then builds supporting materials around those points. That includes interactive activities, discussion prompts, and vocabulary cutouts. She designs everything in Canva, then prints and assembles the materials for use. So far, she has adapted nine books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One example is Bird Count. For that title, she also helped build a Bird Identification Kit, building on earlier work by CoSEE intern Benton Kellogg. The kit includes a birdwatching activity that mirrors what happens in the story. Read about it, then try it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese are materials I would have wanted as a kid,\u201d Kaylin said. \u201cHaving more ways to interact with books and connect them to what\u2019s around you makes a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/04\/uwb-cosee-climetime-grant-blog001-standard-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/04\/uwb-cosee-climetime-grant-blog001-standard-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/04\/uwb-cosee-climetime-grant-blog001-standard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/04\/uwb-cosee-climetime-grant-blog001-standard-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/04\/uwb-cosee-climetime-grant-blog001-standard-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/04\/uwb-cosee-climetime-grant-blog001-standard-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/04\/uwb-cosee-climetime-grant-blog001-standard-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/04\/uwb-cosee-climetime-grant-blog001-standard-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/04\/uwb-cosee-climetime-grant-blog001-standard-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This photo shows a series of books and corresponding educational materials and support that go along with some of our adaptive library books.
