The Disney Planet Challenge is Back

Have a great idea for an environmental project AND want the chance to win great prizes? Disney’s Planet Challenge is partnering with DonorsChoose.org again this year to support teachers submitting hands-on classroom projects to help the environment. Disney’s Planet Challenge is a fun, free and highly-acclaimed project-based environmental competition for 3^rd-8^th grade classrooms across the US.Thanks to Disney’s Planet Challenge, 3^rd through 8^th grade teachers who submit an eligible classroom project to DonorsChoose.org will receive “Double Your Impact” funding! This means that hands-on environmental projects, costing under $1000, submitted to DonorsChoose.org no later than November 1^st will receive 50% funding from Disney Planet Challenge, once other donors choose to fund the rest of the project.Plus, teachers that register for Disney’s Planet Challenge and submit a qualifying project to DonorsChoose.org by November 1^st will receive full project funding! How awesome is that?!To participate in Disney’s Planet Challenge, teachers must register here by December 17, 2010. In addition to the regular DonorsChoose.org thank you process, teachers will be asked to complete this project with your class and submit the results to Disney by February 16, 2011.
