Climate Superstars

What is the Climate Superstars Challenge?

Presented by Samsung, ENERGY STAR®, and the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), Climate Superstars is a 10-day online environmental challenge that gets kids excited about the environment and how they can take an active role in caring for its future. During the challenge, middle school classrooms (Grades 6-8) complete short tasks geared towards environmental literacy and energy efficiency. Tasks can be performed online or in person. Classes that complete at least 7 of the 10 tasks by the end of the challenge are eligible for a drawing to win a Samsung Flip 2 digital flipchart!
