SLINGSHOT CHALLENGE IN THE BOX for ages 13-18, a four-days FREE intensive and collaborative camp focused on video creation for submissions to the National Geographic Slingshot Challenge competition. 

Students will learn Design Thinking, storytelling, video production and AI literacy and explore ways individuals their peers are taking action. The goal is to empower students to craft compelling Slingshot Challenge entries to address pressing social environmental issues affecting air quality, water, nature, climate, waste among other sustainability issues. By hosting a summer camp, this will address the competing activities happening during the school year and give students a productive and engaging learning experience. By the end of the four days, participants will have created Slingshot Challenge projects in a box (folder) or design models, which will enable them to be ready for the submission that happens in the Fall 2024. 

Strong TIES is a state partner with National Geographic Slingshot Challenge. Our team and partners will work with young people to explore ways they can be protectors of our earth, frame your story and create your project.
