The Fairchild Challenge is our award-winning, interdisciplinary, environmental science competition designed to engage students of diverse interests, abilities, talents and backgrounds to explore the natural world. The program has been recognized as a benchmark for exceptional STEM education and for empowering PreK \u2013 12<\/span>th<\/span> grade students to become the next generation of scientists, researchers, educated voters, policy makers, and environmentally-minded citizens.
