NoVa Outside Showcase - April 10


The NoVa Outside School Environmental Action Showcase (SEAS) is an exhibition and celebration of the environmental stewardship efforts of Northern Virginia K-12 students, teachers, schools, and non-profits.
 

Schools are invited to bring 5-6 students (from Green Team, after school club, etc.) to share what the school and students are doing for the environment. A 6’ table will be provided for display materials (tri-fold displays recommended). 

Register at http://www.novaoutside.org (it's free!). Questions? 
Contact info@novaoutside.org 

See what student driven environmental actions schools across the region are doing to improve their community.  See great examples of creative problem solving, using 21st Century skills and STEM.  Lots of hands on activities and demos for students and teachers to explore.   Meet regional environmental organizations.  Find resources available to you to continue your work. 

HERE’S HOW TO REGISTER:
