Plus, do you know a youngster with a big idea to help save the planet? Our friends at the National Geographic Society are inviting 13- to 18-year-olds to submit a one-minute video describing their idea for solving environmental issues as part of the 2026 Slingshot Challenge. The Society will review all submissions, and a panel of experts will select a small number of projects to receive funding awards of up to $10,000 to further their journey. The challenge closes on February 6, 2026.
