WHERE Challenge

Where ChallengeManaged by Mining Matters, the WHERE Challenge replaces our long-running Junior Miner Competition with a national contest that asks students aged 9 – 14 “What on Earth is in your stuff?” and “WHERE on Earth does it come from?”

Launched in October of each year, the WHERE Challenge runs until the following April, offering up to $16,000 in regional and national prizes.
  
This contest presents Earth sciences material to students in a way they can relate to. It excites them about learning, promoting awareness and appreciation of our planet and of employment opportunities in the mining, energy, and environmental sectors.
 
The WHERE Challenge allows for cross-curricular collaboration and thematic teaching; art, English, social studies, technology, and science departments can all get involved.
