On July 28, the Siemens Foundation announced an exciting new partnership that will transform sustainability education in the United States with the unveiling of the Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge, certain to become the nation’s preeminent K- 12 sustainability challenge. This collaboration brings together the power of Discovery Communications, the #1 non-fiction media company in the world, and the National Science Teacher Association, the world’s largest and most respected organization of science teachers. The partnership will focus on educating and engaging students, teachers and communities in exploring solutions for a more “green” environment built on sustainability practices.   “As a leader in environmentally relevant businesses, Siemens knows the answers to tomorrow’s critical environmental questions are in the minds of today’s students,” said James Whaley, President of the Siemens Foundation. “Uniting with Discovery Education and NSTA complements Siemens’ commitment to the future and to those who are going to create it.  We look forward to unleashing this tremendous reservoir of potential through the Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge.”
