The Tampa Bay Regional Envirothon, or "environmental olympics" allows high school students in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties the opportunity to use what they have learned in the classroom to resolve environmental issues in the field. Both teachers and students enjoy the Envirothon's in-class learning that combines hands-on, outdoor activities. Student teams are exposed to scientists and experts in the field who coach and guide their learning experience. Teams then compete in local Envirothons and winners advance to state/provincial/territorial contests. Top teams head to the Canon Envirothon, a week-long culminating competition hosted by one of the states/provinces/territories in North America, where over $100,000 in scholarships and prizes are awarded. Through the program, students develop an understanding of effective teamwork, resource management and ecology. At the same time, they gain valuable exposure to a range of disciplines and possible career paths.
