This year at the 2016 MAEOE Youth Summit, our theme is: "We are the Change," so we are focusing on the difference that students can make and how they can inspire one another. We are looking to highlight two student projects in this year's keynote speech. If you teach in a K-12 Maryland Green School or are applying in 2015-2016 and have students who did a green school-related project this year, you are eligible to apply for your students to present. Presentation length: up to 7 minutes

Please complete the questionnaire to explain what your students would be interested in presenting. Presenters must be students, NOT teachers or mentors (although teachers and mentors may help complete the application as much is appropriate for the age of your students). Students and mentors MUST be present on May 13th, 2016 at Sandy Point State Park for the Youth Summit.

Question Title

Please note that there will be no visual presentations (e.g. Power Point or Prezi Presentations). Microphone will be available. Anticipated crowd is 500-1000 people seated in a covered outdoor space.
