BJ Arvin, Knox County High School Teacher

Can you really change the world in one minute? We believe you can. Students are the voice of the future and the time to act is now! Across the planet, young people are becoming problem-solvers, risk takers, and decision-makers who are shaping the future of the planet. Students are the next National Geographic Explorers, and your work begins today. The National Geographic Society uses the power of science, exploration, education, and storytelling to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world. Now, it is the students' turn. The Slingshot Challenge is an innovative youth challenge that gives young problem-solvers, advocates, and stewards for the planet a chance to focus their message and be heard.
