Does your student have groundbreaking ideas to help save local
or global wildlife ecosystems? K12 is inviting students nationwide
to bring their most innovative solutions to the table as part of
the 2024 K12 Innovation Challenge.
The Innovation Challenge, part of K12’s Student Enrichment
Programs, is open to all K-12 students in the U.S., no matter where
they attend school. Students can participate individually, with a
partner, or in a team of three.
"The future of our planet depends on the innovations we make
today. That's why we're excited to announce the launch of the
National Innovation Challenge, where we are challenging the
brightest minds across the country to develop breakthrough
solutions that will build a more sustainable world. Together,
through creativity and collaboration, we can write the next chapter
of environmental innovation in America and drive progress towards a
thriving planetary future,” said Karen Ghidotti, Senior Vice
President of Customer Experience and Advocacy at K12, a division of
Stride, Inc.
This year’s challenge is looking for innovative solutions for
safeguarding the delicate ecosystems of wildlife within students’
local communities or on a global scale within one of the following
themes:
- Habitat Restoration
- Ocean Vitality
- Future Farm
- Endangered Species
- Animal Welfare & Rescue
- Community Engagement
Middle school and high school semi-finalists will have the
opportunity to present their proposals in person at the K12
headquarters in Reston, Virginia while competing for exciting
prizes, including a student trip with the Ecology Project.
Elementary school finalists will be able to choose between three
prize packages valued at over $250 each. And a People's Choice
Award will be presented to the team in each grade division with the
most votes from the public.
Entries will be judged on their:
- Environmental impact and theme alignment
- Creativity, innovation, presentation, collaboration, and
passion
- Implementation and viability
- Community engagement and impact
K12 Enrichment Programs help students in grades K-12 ignite
diverse interests and encourage them to learn new skills, build a
portfolio of creative work, and foster long-lasting friendships and
connections. Other available enrichment programs include national
art competitions, cookoffs, robotics, creative storytelling through
photography, and more.
Registration for the K12 Innovation Challenge is open now
through 11:59 PM ET on Tuesday, January 16, 2024. For additional
