Local STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) charity, Love Tech has announced the launch of its new Wildlife Challenge.
The challenge that is in conjunction with Manx Wildlife Trust and UNESCO Biosphere is due to take place throughout August and September across eight of the Island’s natural habitats.
According to Love Tech the challenge is “encouraging young people to get outside and explore nature”.
Using a smartphone, participants can follow QR codes to make pledges to help protect and nurture the wildlife and nature in the Island’s Biosphere.
Children aged 8-12 years old are being asked to come up with their own, innovative Biosphere pledges. Judges from each of the three organisations will then select their favourite entries and notify winners at the end of September.
The successful entries will win a 6th Generation Apple iPad mini, 64GB, kindly donated by Manx Telecom, or £50 vouchers for Manx Wildlife Trust’s Peel gift shop, kindly donated by Appleby.
Claire Milne, Love Tech committee member, said: “Love Tech has organised this challenge to encourage children and families to sharpen observational skills, get outside in nature and use modern technology to help protect our Island’s amazing natural habitats.
“Love Tech would like to say a big thank you to Manx Telecom for all their support and to Manx Wildlife Trust and UNESCO Biosphere for being such brilliant partners in this, our latest Love Tech adventure.”
