2024: Extraordinary Earth Project

Through the Extraordinary Earth Project, students learned and created art about the environment, generating donations to organizations addressing climate change. With every art submission to the Extraordinary Earth Project, students raised $5 for challenge partners Choose Love/Choose Earth, Little Amal, National Wildlife Federation, Eden Reforestation Projects, and the Solgaard Nyx Foundation working to mitigate the effects of environmental issues.

Overview

Nasha Zemlya. Nuestra Tierra. Unsere Erde. Dünyamız. Our Earth.

Our annual project is now closed. To wrap up a successful Challenge, Students Rebuild partnered with sustainability artist Benjamin Von Wong to unveil the Extraordinary Earth Project pop-up at Arcadia Earth in Toronto, featuring sculptures made entirely from sustainable materials.

The showcase celebrated the culmination of Students Rebuild’s Extraordinary Earth Project, where students learned and created art about the environment, generating donations to organizations addressing climate change. The pop-up featured mosaic displays of student art, videos, and student-made recreations of Benjamin Von Wong’s giant tap sculpture—including Toronto-based educator Monsieur Steve’s second-grade classroom.

Why the Extraordinary Earth Project?

    Students created art out of recycled materials that helps deepen connections with the following environmental themes: repurposing waste, deforestation, clean air and ecosystems.

The programs your art helps fund

For each Students Rebuild annual Project, we partner with high-impact organizations working on the ground to help strengthen communities worldwide—many of them household names. The funds we donate transform student work into immediate, on-the-ground progress for carefully vetted programs that are evaluated according to the outcomes they produce. In addition to extending our reach and helping our funding make more of a difference, our partners also inform the resources we provide to teachers and students.
