BLAST

Calling all middle and high school students. There are lots of environmental problems that need solutions, but have you ever thought about creating those solutions yourself? 

• If you love coding, you could create an app to help people answer that daily question: Is this recyclable? 

• If you enjoy being outdoors, you could plant a garden to replace an unused patch of turfgrass. 

• If you like talking to people, you could knock on doors and hand out energy efficient LED light bulbs. 

What’s your idea? 

Submit an application to the BLAST competition - Building Leadership Around Sustainable Transformation. Not only will you get access to a mentor, but you will also have a chance to win $1000 at a Shark Tank-type competition in October. Prize money may be used to help with project implementation and/or to continue your education. 

Click the Apply button to participate. You may submit your application as an individual or as a team.
