While learning about the Middle East weather and climate, Grade 8 students succeeded in completing the challenge -' Regreen the Desert' by practical action. Regreen the desert was an exciting STEM challenge that inspired pupils to develop ideas to address a real-life problem caused by climate change. Their challenge was to capture rainwater to irrigate crops for a community living in North Darfur, Sudan. The students developed solutions to help combat the impact of climate change in Sudan by designing and building model systems to capture then disperse rainwater to irrigate crops. They gain an understanding of how water pressure works, developed problem-solving, team working and presentation skills, and discover how STEM can help solve global issues around food security and achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals
