Lexus Environmental Challenge


The Lexus Environmental Challenge is a nationwide education program and contest about the environment that empowers teens to create a better world. Through this program, middle and high school students can participate in four initial environmental challenges about land, water, air, and climate.


Teams made up of 5 to 10 students and one teacher-advisor will define an issue, make a plan to address the issue, implement the plan, and report on the results. To accompany their efforts, teams will be encouraged to provide visual documentation in a variety of media including digital photos, digital videos, Web pages, and PowerPoint presentations.
