They can present their ideas through different formats: digital art, video presentations, or even a physical model. The key is to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions that could have a positive, lasting impact.This challenge will promote critical thinking, collaboration, and a deep sense of responsibility, aligning perfectly with IB’s emphasis on global citizenship and inquiry. The best ideas could be shared with the whole school or even the broader community to inspire real change!
