Competition description

The STEM Alliance and Lenovo are organizing the STEM Alliance and Lenovo Competition: Turning Waste into Educational Wonder within the Back to School Campaign 2023.

What is it about?

The Competition calls for educators in primary and secondary schools in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa to explore Lenovo's Activity Booklet, draw inspiration from the proposed activities, and develop a new and creative project fostering students' creative and innovative thinking.

Lenovo supplies engaging educational materials for the competition, designed to encourage hands-on, interactive teaching of STEM subjects, while also promoting awareness of sustainability and waste management. Utilizing these materials, educators will learn to incorporate STEM lessons into real-life activities, explore recycling methods for classroom projects, and inspire students' interest in limitless STEM career possibilities.

Duration of the competition:

The competition will run from from September 18, 2023 to November 30, 2023. Educators will be able to submit their entries until November 30, 2023, at 23:59 Central European Time (CET).

Are you willing to participate? Here are the steps to follow:

To participate in this competition, educators should explore the Lenovo's Activity Booklet, and draw inspiration from the proposed activities, and develop a new and creative project with their students. After they have created the working project with the classrooms, educators should share their PowerPoint presentation using the given template.

Have a look at the Terms and Conditions for more information.

To successfully submit the activity, educators should follow these steps:

STEP 1: Download Lenovo's Activity Booklet

 

To access the materials and enter the competition, the educators should download Lenovo's Activity Booklet from the official webpage.

STEP 2: Get inspired by Lenovo's Activity Booklet and make your own project with your classroom

 

The educators should explore Lenovo's Activity Booklet and be inspired by the proposed activities, developing a new and creative project with their students.

The educators should implement the activity in their classroom and make sure to document the working process as well as the final project and main outcomes.

It is important to note that the project should not be replicated directly from the instructions in the booklet, as its purpose is solely to inspire creativity.

STEP 3: Prepare and submit your entry

 

The submission consists of two components, the first being the preparation of a PowerPoint presentation and the second being a submission form.

Part 1: Prepare the PowerPoint presentation:

The educator should prepare the PowerPoint presentation using the provided template.

When working on the PowerPoint Presentation, participants must pay attention to the evaluation criteria that could serve as guidelines, which are added to slide 5.

While filling the submission form, participants must select the appropriate age category for which they are entering the competition. The age categories are the following:

STEP 4: Spread the Word!
