Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge
Posted by on October 29, 2012
Fifth Annual Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge Opens
Deadline: March 5, 2013
The annual Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge invites teams of students and their adult advisors to tackle local (K-5), regional (6-8), and global (9-12) environmental problems or issues and find replicable green solutions.
Now entering its fifth year, the challenge is a collaborative effort of the Siemens Foundation, Discovery Education, the National Science Teachers Association, and the College Board.
The program invites entries from students and team advisors (who must be full- or part-time school employees) in the United States. A panel of environmental experts and science educators will judge teams based on their research, analysis, and the potential of their solution to be replicated on a larger scale.
High school students are specifically challenged to address energy, biodiversity, land management, water conservation and cleanup, or air and climate.
Student and teacher/mentor prizes, which vary according to grade level, include scholarships, savings bonds, school grants, adventure trips, school assemblies, and more. This year’s challenge will award prizes totaling more than $300,000.
Complete program information and resources to help teams begin their projects are available at the We Can Change Web site.
