Challenge 1A: Marvel-ous Miami
(PreK to 1st 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.
Draw your eco-hero and give it a super name! Your hero should stand as a beacon of hope and inspire others to join the fight to ensure your community stays a haven for its citizens, plants, and wildlife alike. Download PDF – COMING SOON!
