GRADES Pre-K to 5 | 2024-2025
Challenge 1C: Marvel-ous Miami
(4th and 5th Grade)
YOUR CHALLENGE:
South Florida needs your help! Only someone who takes action can make a difference. Imagine a new superhero whose job it is to protect our environment. What will this hero look like? What eco-problem will they combat? How will they come to the city’s rescue? Your hero can look like anything – a person with special powers, a human-like plant who can talk, or some fantastic creature from your imagination.
Embark on an imaginative journey through the streets of Miami by drawing your hero’s story in a comic strip. Choose one environmental issue that affects your community, like extreme heat, and think through a realistic solution. Download PDF for this info on one page – COMING SOON!
