What on Earth is in your stuff, and WHERE on Earth does it come from?
Welcome to the WHERE Challenge! In celebration of the International Year of Planet Earth, the first annual WHERE Challenge is asking Canadian kids aged 10 - 14 years to discover the answers to these questions: What on Earth is in your stuff and WHERE on Earth does it come from?
|
The WHERE Challenge is inviting young people and schools from across the country to compete for thousands of dollars in regional and national cash prizes by letting their imaginations run wild! Enter as a group or individual. All you have to do is tell a story about any object in your home or school, one or more non-renewable Earth resources needed to make that object and WHERE on Earth those resources come from. The more original your story, the better! You can write a poem or an essay, compose a piece of music, stage a play, make a home movie, paint a picture, do a tap dance, put together a multi-media presentation or anything else you can dream up!
Winning entries will be used as promotional tools to demonstrate how Earth resources are essential to our everyday lives. So think hard. Dream big!
The top three school entries each win $1000, and each submission is entered into a draw for an iPod Touch! For more information or to enter the contest, visit www.EarthSciencesCanada.com.
