Become a young food hero!
This activity is designed for young people who want to learn where their food comes from and how much effort goes into producing it.
Food grows in gardens and forests. It is fished from oceans and rivers. It is hunted or gathered from the land. But most of our food comes from farms. Sometimes these are small family-run farms or community gardens, and sometimes they are large commercial farms that stretch as far as the eye can see.
It takes land, good soil, the right weather, skills, labor, money, and resources to produce the food we eat. To better understand the effort behind every meal, let’s try to grow our own food.
These activities are available in English, Spanish, and Mayan.!
Plastic Prevention
Explore the mysterious world of the deep sea and its surprising connection to human actions on land, especially plastic pollution. After learning how plastic impacts even the deepest parts of our Ocean, your challenge will be to design a solution that prevents plastic from entering the Ocean in the first place. Whether it is a new material, a collection device, or a policy idea, we want to see your designs and your creativity in action.
Become young food heroes! Activities for coordinators of groups of kids
This activity is designed for adult leaders working with children aged 10 and under. Through fun, hands-on experiences, young participants will learn where food comes from, how it is produced, and why reducing food waste matters.
Food grows in gardens and forests. It is fished from oceans and rivers. It is hunted or gathered from the land. But most of our food comes from farms. Some are small, some are large, but all require work and care. It takes land, healthy soil, the right weather, skills, labor, and resources to produce the food we eat.
These activities help children understand that effort and encourage them to take simple actions to reduce food waste and appreciate the value of food.
Available in English, Spanish, and Mayan.

Media Computation is about using pictures, music, text, and videos to create exciting, beautiful, and unique projects. While making cool things, you will also learn programming skills and how to work with large sets of data.
And the best part? The same tricks you’ll use to edit, remix, and generate media can also be applied to other real-world data, like environmental information, to uncover patterns and insights.
Join us to explore the world of data.
Grand Gestures - Storytelling with AI
We all use gesture recognition every day, often without even noticing it. From waving our hands and swiping across our phones to zooming in on a picture with two fingers, these small moves have become natural to us.
