Are your students ready to change the world? Deadline extended to 3/15.
We're thrilled to introduce the Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge — the nation's premier sustainability competition that gives your students the inspiration and resources to get involved and make a difference. Using a project-based science inquiry approach, students are given the tools to identify, research and recommend solutions to address an environmental issue in their classroom, then share their results with other classrooms across the country.
Every teacher and student is a winner as we join forces to salute their achievement. Over $100,000 in grants, prizes, and much more! Are you ready to join your students in becoming an Eco-Hero?
Discover how to take part in the challenge, find out what the judges look for and explore fun interactives. You can also find out more about the Agents of Change and how you can join them in helping to save the planet.
Learn how you actually go about completing the Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge. Basically, it comes down to:
You and your teammates select the environmental problem you want to tackle. You study everything about it. Then you plan and design your solution. And you make sure others around the country can replicate it.
There are many great prizes in the Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge. They include:
- The only competition where every kid's a winner...
- and has the chance to have their class featured on TV!
- Teachers win too....
- Over $100K in grants, prizes and much, much more!
