Calling all middle school teachers! Enter student project ideas in the Eco Challenge contest

WUSA9 is searching for four middle school classes to show how they’re creating a greener future! It’s time to submit projects.

WASHINGTON — At WUSA9, we believe our environment matters and we’ve taken steps to identify our own environmental goals as a company, including lowering our carbon footprint.

But it’s also up to us to make sure that we pass this same knowledge to future generations. That is why we have created the “Eco Challenge.” 

WUSA9 will identify four middle school classes that apply to participate in a challenge showcasing how they are doing their part to create a green future.

Middle school teachers have until Oct. 31 to submit their classrooms’ elevator pitch for consideration.

Each middle school winner will receive $5,000 from contest sponsor Washington Gas to aid in completing their project and free continued professional development and educational materials from the Smithsonian Science Education Center.

Notification to the selected middle schools will occur by Nov. 7.
