Welcome to our project!  
#eXtremeSTEAM is open to ALL grade levels
​and subject areas

LEVEL 1 - Complete the eXtreme STEAM Challenge and Document Your Learning on Social Media
  • In this level, classes or schools will complete their Earth Day projects and share on social media using our #eXtremeSTEAM hashtag. We'd love to see video updates with students' learning and community connections throughout the process.  A final video reflection would be terrific as well.  

LEVEL 2 - MOST INVOLVED (But Also the Most Powerful) 
  • In this level, students complete the challenge requirements PLUS they share their learning with another #eXtremeSTEAM classroom or school through video conferencing tools such as Skype, Zoom, or Google Hangout. This will give your students a chance to hear how others completed the challenge and made a difference in their own community.
    (It is extremely important that you only signup for this level if you are committed to meeting all collaboration expectations). 

There are FOUR Requirements for your Earth Day Project
