Projects should show evidence of research into a topic surrounding “Adapting Today for Tomorrow's Climate: Climate Resilience & Adaptations”. Climate resilience and adaptation are critical themes in addressing the challenges posed by global climate change. As the impacts of climate change become increasingly apparent, communities, governments, and organizations must develop strategies to adapt to evolving environmental conditions. This theme focuses on understanding how to effectively build resilience and prepare for future climate scenarios. Categories for projects might include but are not limited to renewable energy solutions, sustainable agriculture, water conservation, and community resilience.

​

• ​Projects must be based on scientific investigations, an experiment or surveys, including environmental and/or social perspectives. (**All high school projects must include the scientific method. If high schools do not use the scientific method, the project will be placed in the Non-competitive/Display category.**)

   

• All information outlining how the project was done, key findings and conclusions, should be included in a poster presentation for lower primary, upper primary and lower high. All information outlining how the project was done, key findings and conclusions, should be included in a powerpoint presentation for upper high ONLY*.
   

• *Component for UPPER HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS : GRADES 10-12 ONLY*
This year, instead of setting up a table with a display board, we are asking upper high school students (grades 10-12 ONLY) to prepare a powerpoint slideshow to explain their projects on stage in front of the audience. Students may include props along with the slideshow to help to explain their projects. Presentations should be no longer than 10 minutes.
   

• All teams should also use their research to inform an action component that demonstrates student participation in solutions, behavior change, or community outreach for increasing public understanding of the services provided by the chosen ecosystem(s). Proof or samples of the action component should be provided (photo copies, video, photographs, etc).
   

• All projects must include a list of sources/references for any photos, diagrams, definitions etc. that are borrowed for their project.

   

• Please note: Students who are homeschooled but live in Abaco can enter to participate in the competition. Please make entries based on the grade level they are currently in.
