Once you’ve registered, the Polar Bear Challenge is a 21-day competition that gives your class a chance to reduce its energy consumption in the classroom, at home or both. Students should work together to decide what they want to do as a class (lower the thermostat two degrees Fahrenheit, recycle, have a meatless Monday lunch, compost, turn off the water while brushing their teeth, unplug unused electrical items, etc.) and then spend at least 21-days between March 1 – April 20, 2018. To be eligible for prizes, teachers must register and submit their results and photos to the Zoo by April 21, 2018
The Zoo currently is home to two polar bears.
