Hunting Environmental Solutions

An innovative idea for solving some real-life environmental problem is being sought from students in grades 6 to 10. The individual who wins "It's Your Environment Challenge" will receive an all-expenses-paid trip for a behind-the-scenes tour of the American Museum of Natural History, in New York, $500 to support his or her research, and a library of books for her or his school. One winning classroom will get a chance to talk with museum scientists about their proposed innovation and $2,000 and a classroom library to further their project.
