Program Elements
There are several project areas in the Challenge. Some are designed specifically for teams, others students can work on alone. Students can mix and match projects based on their interest level and time. They can form a team to compete in one competition and, at the same time, work on individual points.
Global Business Plan. Students build an International Team, envision a global solution, create a detailed business plan, and submit it for judging.
Technical Innovation Plan. Students build an International Team, envision any kind of technical solution, explain it to a panel of judges.
Explorations. Students work on their own on science, technology, engineering and mathematics units of study called "challenges."
Green Earth Corps. Students work on their own or with any team, build a home and business auditing service, earn while they learn and serve.
GCA-350.Students create an awareness event about the need to reach "350 parts per million" of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Each Challenge earns certain points, and in the end, teams with the highest scores win and earn scholarships, travel awards to the Governor's Institute on Engineering in Vermont, cash prizes, and tuition scholarships.
