Calling All Kids – Enter Our World Water Day Contest!
Know a K through 12 student, teacher or homeschooler in the Lake Champlain Basin? In honor of World Water Day, LCC and Champlain Basin Education Initiative (CBEI) partners are hosting our annual cool contest to celebrate water. It’s a great way for educators to integrate art and science with their students. Students may write, create artwork, take photos, or make videos to explore these themes:
- Celebrate Water
- Spread the Word
- Citizen Science & Civic Action
- Act Locally Think Globally
