Welcome to the Challenge 20/20 Homepage!

Challenge 20/20 is an Internet-based program that pairs classes at any grade level (K-12) from schools in the U.S. with their counterpart classes in schools in other countries; together the teams (of two or three schools) tackle real global problems to find solutions that can be implemented at the local level and in their own communities.  Schools do not have to be NAIS members to participate!  We accept private, public, charter schools from the US and any other country.  Schools can also be elementary or secondary.


APPLICATION FOR THE 2009-2010 CHALLENGE 20/20 PROGRAM!

Apply online from March 2 - August 17, 2009.  To apply for the 2009-2010 Challenge 20/20, click here!

If your school already has an established relationship with a school in another country, we encourage the two schools to work together. Please indicate this relationship on your application form.  We must receive individual application forms from each school/class wishing to participate. If your school does not have a partner school in mind, simply select the problems (up to five in order of preference);for which you would like to work toward a solution. NAIS will work to partner your school, based on the problem/s you have selected. If we cannot find a partner for your school this year, we will give your school priority for next year's program, provided you re-submit an application form. If NAIS is unable to identify a partner for your school this year, your school can also opt to participate in Challenge 20/20 as a non-partnered school in preparation for next year.
