Global Challenge is an online collaborative problem-solving competition that engages underrepresented pre-college students throughout the world. Using a wide variety of digital media and social networking tools, K-12 students develop and propose solutions to complex global problems from global warming to the future of energy. Peers, project staff, and outside experts judge solutions, providing feedback, award certificates, travel stipends, and scholarships to students who are enhancing their science, technology, engineering and mathematical skills while learning collaboration and project management from a transnational perspective.

Global Challenge "Games Olympiad" has had great success in Pune India. In 3 rounds, we touched about 800 students, helped them create new ideas for games, and treated them to a fun day, a teleconference, and for a select few, a trip to Copenhagen in December!
Our HASTAC activities have also included engaging students in creating the AI behind a chatterbot named "ECO" that is getting smarter every day! See ECO on the website www.globalchallengeaward.org

It would be great if you know a teen anywhere in the world who you think might be interested in a self-directed project that makes global friends and works to save the world from global warming - by playing games and sims, and inventing a unique solution to the big problem! We'd love to engage with and introduce teens you know to others we know around the world.
