ARM Climate Research Facility Education and Outreach recognizes the value of traditional knowledge in science education. Information about weather and climate from elders, community leaders, educators and students makes science relevant and meaningful, especially for native populations.

Beginning in 2002, the Education and Outreach program developed a series of interactive kiosks titled Climate Change: Science and Traditional Knowledge, which incorporate scientific information about climate research with oral history, daily observations, and general concerns from the ARM host communities around the world. The Education and Outreach program has developed kiosks for the ARM host communities in Barrow, Alaska; Darwin, Australia; Nauru Island, Republic of Nauru; and Manus Island, Papua New Guinea.

Kiosk CDs have been taken to various outreach events, including public science fairs.
