Please share this Global Warming personal action item with high school students and teachers! Want to save the planet? Win money for college? Meet people from around the world? Work on a cool project? The Global Challenge is looking for a high school student who is interested in helping save the planet from global warming and learning more about science, technology, engineering and mathematics while working with an international team using advanced technologies. This is a great after-school, independent study or curriculum enhancement project! You find one other student to work with and an adult of your choosing (parent, community member, teacher, older friend). All three people must register on the web site. The Global Challenge will help your team find a similar team from one of 50 other countries (e.g. China, Korea, India, Nigeria, Mexico, etc.) and will help support the team in making weekly progress from Nov until May. You should plan to spend 1 to 2 hours per week in order to be competitive. Put yourself on their GlobeNet map! The web site http://globenet.globalchallengeaward.org is now accepting registrations for student teams for this year's program - leading to prizes and recognition for all and scholarships for students who submit winning solutions. See their news (http://www.globalchallengeaward.org/thisyearschallenge/news.html) for stories about last year's winning student teams!
