NRCL are holding an annual 'Young Inventors Competition' for all those children bursting with great ideas to help our Environment.

There are two categories for entry:

  1. GREEN ENERGY WORKING MACHINE
  2. Your working invention will demonstrate how renewable/sustainable energy is used in an efficient manner to propel a particular machine of your imagination.

  3. GREEN IDEAS
  4. Alternatively, you may invent something that will assist in our cause of 'Advocating sustainable management of forest ecosystems'

Your entry will need to be available for assessment by 1 June 2009, and will be judged by 30 June 2009.

What do I win?

  • The winning entry will have their machine on display in the Warburton Waterwheel for 12 months, with their name, school name, and details of their invention on a plaque. After this time, your plaque will then be placed on the 'Wall of Honour'.
  • The winning project will be awarded a cash prize of $250 for the student or students involved.
  • Your invention will also feature on our Web Site and in our quarterly newsletter.
  • You will also win for you and your school a free excursion for 100 students, including bus fares, and a choice of any of our programs.

How do I enter?

Simply email your details to Samantha giving a description of your invention, your name, address and contact details, and we will arrange collection or delivery of your brilliant work to the judging panel.
