UPWARD GRAVITY

Competition

Introduction
Sustainability has become a larger and more permanent part of the political and financial landscape.  All areas of our lives are affected: materials for construction, fuel consumption of automobiles, recycled content in paper products, efficient water usage...the list is endless.  We are only at the early edge of understanding efficiency, preservation, and sustainability.   It is more imperative than ever to develop and implement tools to prepare for the next stage of industrial evolution.  The goal is to develop the people who will accelerate this evolution.

Mission
Upward Gravity uses design competitions to enable high school involvement in the creation of solutions to environmental and sustainability challenges.   These projects are intended to use abstract thinking in conjunction with common subjects like math, science and writing, to solve the problems related to sustainability in our world today.

Vision
A design competition promises to create a tangible way to interweave a real world exercise with existing high school curriculum.  Envision the next generation of leaders with the will to collectively champion a healthy coexistence with the natural environment and a complete view of global financial sustainability.
