Hope During A Pandemic- Educational Challenge

I want to share a wonderful initiative that is launching by a few students from Stanford and Harvard in response to the countless school closures and nearly a billion of students who suddenly find themselves out of school.  Their mission is to:

- Sustain global learning. No matter the circumstances.
- Encourage students to take a stake in global challenges.
- Offer hope in challenging times.

Through the Crown Education Challenge, they are encouraging students K-12 to complete an Art Submission, STEM research report, or Written response addressing ‘hope during a pandemic’ and how we can either prevent or respond to similar situations in the future.  

Prizes include published pieces in the Harvard Technology Review  and mentorship opportunities for the older age bracket (14-18yrs).

I would encourage you to check it out and spread the word.
