GRADES Pre-K to 5 | 2024-2025
Challenge 1B: Marvel-ous Miami
(2nd and 3rd 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 a poster of your eco-hero in action, protecting Miami’s citizens, plants, and wildlife. Feature one environmental issue in your poster that affects your community, like extreme heat, as the nemesis for your hero to battle. Also, make sure to give your hero a super name AND list the superpowers they use! Your hero should stand as a beacon of hope and inspire others to join the fight.
