So what's the

Cool It Climate Challenge??

 

 

 


It's a competition for Connecticut students in grades 6-12. You'll learn about climate science and start making changes in your school or town that will help us fight global warming. And while you are learning and doing, you and your team can earn money!

The Cool It Climate Challenge is a two year process. Click here for the fact sheet.

In the first year you and your team will create a greenhouse gas inventory of your school, a home or business, or another place. You also start making your climate change solution plan. You might pick a project or projects involving transportation, food, energy use, recycling or some other topic. First year teams are judged in the spring and can win up to $5000. Second year teams work on implementing their projects. They can win up to $10,000!


Read the 2007 list of winning teams, and learn more from the press release.

The teams who created the best solutions can win up to $10,000. Cool It! The Climate Change Challenge asks students to learn about climate science; to understand how human activities are contributing to climate change; and to create local solutions to climate change in their school or community.
