    Each year, EarthEcho International hosts the OurEcho Challenge STEM contest to encourage young leaders, ages 13-16, to audit biodiversity in their community and to come up with a project idea to restore and protect the biodiversity in their own backyards. The contest is now open for entries through April 26th and this Spring we will award 3 teams grants of up to $5,000 to implement their projects. 

    Feel free to use this toolkit to help spread the word.

    Lastly, we will be at NSTA this month and I hope we can meet in person if you are attending. We'll be at exhibit #374 and will also be presenting with a group of teachers on Saturday, March 23rd at 8 AM (room 404).
