This looks like a great opportunity — a great way to incorporate a real life project into science instruction. There are two categories — grades K-2 and 3-5.
We Can Change the World Challenge
The Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge gives students the opportunity, tools and inspiration to become those agents of change. Beginning August 19, 2009 through January 31, 2010, elementary school classes from across the country will be challenged to create sustainable, reproducible environmental improvements in their classroom or school.
Top prizes will include a chance to appear on TV, a grant for your school, and a trip for the teacher to New York City and more.
Sounds like a great project, I look forward to hearing more about it!
