BC GREEN GAMES

Science World, in partnership with the Ministry of Education, is pleased to announce BC Green Games. This initiative is designed to motivate action, facilitate sharing and reward the green efforts of schools throughout the province. Please share this program with teachers and students – twenty-four $2000 prizes will be awarded and two “Viewer’s Choice” awards of $1000 will be given out. The prize money will be given directly to winning schools to sustain and support environmental actions projects. In addition, Solar BC will be awarding solar power systems to three of the twenty-six prize-winning schools via a random draw.

BC Green Games is a digital media contest for K-12 students to submit projects that inspire positive changes in school and community behaviour toward promoting protection of the environment, sustainability and stewardship. BCGreenGames.ca will showcase these action-based videos and photo essays. Projects may be done by a single class, by a school club, or by a whole school.

BC Green Games will increase student awareness of environmental issues and their own ability to become local leaders and improve their sustainable practices in everyday life. The initiative also supports teachers to teach environmental sustainability concepts and to develop school communities to be more effective, efficient and environmentally responsible.
