We want to give voice to your amazing work!

Today, more than ever before in our history, we are facing complex global challenges that can appear overwhelming and out of our capacity to affect meaningful change. Yet, many educators and students are doing important work to incorporate skills of systems thinking for sustainability into their curriculums providing students with the necessary tools for better understanding complex and interconnected global challenges, finding agency and proposing solutions. The intention of this competition is to give voice to aspiring student changemakers to showcase their thinking, highlight their agency and promote continued promotion of these important skills.

The competition is open to three groups: 

• Primary grades (pre-K through year 6)
• Secondary grades (year 7- 12)
• Educators

All student submissions must be made through educators who have registered.  See the Compass Challenge web page.
