Green Spark
Welcome to Green Spark 2027! We’re excited to hear about the positive change happening in your school or community. Green Spark is a nationwide virtual showcase celebrating K–12 students at every stage of the journey—whether your group, class, or individual team is sharing an early idea, a project in progress, or a completed initiative. Submissions have the opportunity to be featured or to present live during Green Spark 2027. Whether you’re entering as a student group, class, teacher, or Green Team, your spark matters!
