The Captain Planet Foundation is seeking applications for its ecoTech Grants to support projects that leverage technology to achieve greater or innovative environmental outcomes (this does not include simply adding iPads, tablets, or other smart devices to a project).
ecoTech Grants were created to combat the notion that students needed to choose between “the screen” or “the green” and to encourage educators and students to explore the role technology can play in designing and implementing solutions to some of our most pressing environmental challenges.
The Captain Planet Foundation has supported educators who facilitate youth-led projects that result in positive impacts to the environment and communities.
