Hello Climate Change-Makers,

Our organizing team has been inspired working with all the youth we have during the third edition of this climate challenge, and It's been a BLAST! Thank you to all who participated & do hope that you folks had fun as well :)

And in case anyone's missed our earlier notes or Slack messages from earlier, here's our prize winners;

Grand Prize Winners: LifeRaft (CONGRATS!!)
Joint Second Place: Western Green Project & Indigrow
Best-of-the-Rest Winners: Alternative Recipe & Project Paradust
Public Choice Award: Algae Power Nature
And from there- our favourite- our Mystery Award winner: Algae Power Nature & Eco-Chum

It really has been so wonderful to have you all be a part of this initiative, and beyond all of you amazing participants, a big shout-out as well to our mentors, judges, partners & in particular our co-organizers who make this work all possible. YOU are the glue that makes all this work possible.

Final note too that we're keen to feedback & advice as we improve for future editions, so do reach out for advice... And indeed— on this note— we're having a wonderful conversation (ongoing actually haha, we started today @ 10 AM EST, have been sharing lots on this on Slack)! It's super informal & chatting a bit on feedbak but also thinking about what the future of cliamte action can be, it's been a super-fun chat so far: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZItf-GqrD8oGt2yZolgRuMDNtxSvLVqnX5y#/registration :)
