Challenged to plan and design sustainable and resilient learning spaces that encourage innovation, critical thinking and collaboration, these young designers have broadened the potential of a school by connecting excellence in design with excellence in education. Their rigorous research, exceptional teamwork and eco-friendly solutions not only meet the needs of students, but address the economy and society of the future, enabling them to master the skills they need to take on the challenges of a world defined by change.

“Evergreen High was designed to remind society about the power of innovation and collaboration in education. By reimagining the traditional high school experience, it creates a nurturing and empowering environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and personally.

New for 2024! We are expanding the competition to include two distinct categories: one for middle school students and one for high school students. This change allows us to better celebrate the creativity and innovation of young minds across different age groups. This expansion will provide a more inclusive and equitable opportunity for all students to participate and shine. We look forward to seeing the incredible designs and ideas that will emerge from both middle school and high school participants.
