The Classroom Challenge is open to educators teaching in traditional classroom settings, including those in public, private, and charter schools—both in the United States and internationally! If you work with students in a classroom environment and want to engage them in learning and action around plastic pollution, you’re welcome to join.
International educators are encouraged to participate and are eligible for the $500 USD classroom prize raffle. However, due to shipping limitations, only educators in the United States will be eligible to receive a free Wayfinder Society “Teach the Change” T-shirt and Take Action Toolkit, while supplies last.
The $500 classroom prize will go directly to the educator who submits the Final Reflection Form and must be used in a way that benefits both the educator and their students—such as purchasing classroom materials, supporting student-led projects, or enhancing environmental education efforts. Prize recipients will be required to submit a brief report within six months of receiving the prize detailing how the funds were used.
If you’re unsure whether you qualify, we’re happy to help! Contact us at wayfinder@algalita.org with any questions about eligibility.
