Heads up parents and teachers! Ten publicly-funded schools across the country will each receive $25,000 worth of new technology from Staples Canada. Eco schools that are focused on the environment are invited to enter the contest at Staples.ca/PowerEco and share their eco initiatives for a chance to win. The Staples Superpower your School Contest starts January 5, 2015 and runs until January 31, 2015.
“We know that schools and students are very passionate about the environment. To us, they are “ecovators” – a term recognizing the superheroes who innovate to make a difference on the environment,” said Steve Matyas, president of Staples Canada. “Our goal is to empower schools by giving them the power to learn using the latest technology.”
The contest is held in collaboration with Earth Day Canada, a national charity that works directly with thousands of teachers and schools to provide environmental resources and support.
“We’re excited to partner with Staples Canada to inspire and reward the innovative and creative environmental work taking place in schools across Canada,” said Deb Doncaster, president of Earth Day Canada. “Earth Day Canada’s participation helps ensure that the contest reaches as many schools as possible, and provides support throughout the judging process.”
The contest, previously known as the Staples Canada Recycle for Education Computer Lab Contest, is now in its fifth year and has awarded 40 eco schools the latest technology to empower students to learn and nurture their passion for the environment.
