PLANET PROTECTORS
Students leading the sustainability charge
Sponsored and powered by:
Imagine a place where student ideas spring to life, where their solutions tackle the planet’s most pressing issues – that place is none other than the EDUtech Planet Protectors arena! More than a competition, it’s a call to action for young minds eager to make a real difference in the world.
In the face of escalating environmental challenges, the need for sustainable solutions has never been more urgent. Yet, there exists a significant gap between awareness and action. The EDUtech Planet Protectors initiative seeks to bridge this divide, spotlighting the crucial role of student-led innovation in driving real-world environmental change.
The 2024 challenge:
(Available in TWO leagues: K-12 League & HE League)
This year's theme aims to tackle waste management and hopes to spark innovative solutions to tackle modern-day issues such as e-waste, food waste, plastic waste and much more. Waste management is a pressing issue that demands immediate attention, especially in the context of sustainability. By challenging students to tackle waste issues, we not only address an immediate environmental issue but also cultivate a generation of mindful and resource-efficient individuals. This initiative seeks to transform the tide of waste into a wave of sustainability, proving that small changes, in how we view and handle them, can lead to significant environmental benefits.
Powered by Google tools, teams need develop an initiative to tackle waste management and show us your prototype.
