They will go to The GeoChallenge Regional competition which will take place at Elms College in Chicopee, MA on March 29, 2019. At the regional competition, invited GeoChallenge teams will be appraised and participate in a GeoChallenge Showcase.  We wish them the best of luck!!! They are already winners!!!!

Full Summary:
The GeoChallenge is an annual themed and standards-based competition from the National Geographic Society that challenges student groups in grades five through eight across the United States to develop a creative solution to a real-world problem. 

Students form teams—between four and six people—and respond to a problem, challenge, or critical issue by using research, collaboration, creativity, and communication to create and present real-world solutions, just like National Geographic Explorers. Teams with the best projects can advance to the regional and national levels.
 

The 2018–19 GeoChallenge—Tackling Plastic!—invited students to investigate the urgent issue of plastic pollution in our waterways.

Teams of students used important skills such as teamwork, research, innovation, critical thinking, and persuasive communication to work on this challenge while:

• Learning about watersheds and plastics in our lives and communities

• Telling a fact-based story about a plastics pollution problem and solution

• Designing and creating a map that shows the plastic pollution problem

• Creating a solution to prevent plastics from polluting our waterways

• Producing a dynamic video about their solutions

• https://youtu.be/QlGzsL-w9vI
