What is the KICK Challenge?
A Waste-Reduction Competition for PreK-12 Students & a chance to win one of several cash prizes for your school!
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) partners with the Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education (KACEE) to host the Keep It Clean, Kansas! (KICK) Outreach Challenge, a competition for Kansas students in grades Pre-K -12. Classrooms work as a team to create and share projects that educate others about recycling, composting, and other waste reduction activities in Kansas.

In addition to competing in the KICK Outreach Challenge, educators and students receive access to the Waste & Recycling Investigation, which features a curriculum of on-demand videos and activities centered around recycling, composting, and waste reduction, and virtual office hours for students and educators to meet and communicate with professional environmental educators. The course is student-driven and provides countless learning opportunities in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). ​
