Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge


Students (K-12) Invited to Tackle Environmental Issues for the Third Annual Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge

Students and teachers will be awarded grants for replicable solutions to environmental issues in their schools (grades K to five), community (grades six to eight), and the world (grades 9-12).

Deadline: March 15.

The Siemens Foundation, Discovery Education, and the National Science Teachers Association designed this program to educate, empower, and engage students and teachers across the United States to become "Agents of Change" in identifying and solving environmental problems.

Teams will be judged on both their ability to create a positive, measurable solution to a local sustainability issue or challenge using scientific methodology and their ability to explain how the solution can be replicated by other communities. Student and teacher/mentor prizes, which vary according to grade level, include savings bonds and school grants.
