London: The Earthshot Prize today launched ‘Generation Earthshot’, a new educational initiative – in partnership with World’s Largest Lesson, the education arm of Project Everyone – to help teachers around the world nurture and channel the innate creativity of young people towards solving our biggest environmental challenges.
Generation Earthshot invites students aged 10 – 15 and teachers from around the world to join the mission of The Earthshot Prize to discover the best solutions to help repair our planet. The initiative gives educators free online resources that will inspire big ideas to tackle The Earthshot Prize’s five ‘Earthshot’ goals: Protect and restore nature; Clean our air, Revive our oceans; Build a waste-free world; and Fix our climate.
At the heart of the Generation Earthshot resources is a framework for creative problem solving, designed to unlock the potential of “Generation Earthshot” – a generation of aspiring young inventors, innovators and leaders who will help repair and protect our planet. It contains tools and techniques that can be applied across the curriculum, developing skills in creative problem solving and expressing ideas impactfully that are crucial for students’ future careers.
From today, teachers can explore the resources on the Generation Earthshot website and sign up for updates on The Earthshot Prize: London 2021, including the unveiling of the inspiring Prize Finalists and their ground-breaking solutions in September. From September, teachers will also be able to share their students’ ideas via the Generation Earthshot website. Students will receive a certificate and letter of thanks from The Earthshot Prize, connecting their ideas with the global effort to find solutions to repair our planet.
