Compete

The Alberta Envirothon is a high school competition where teams compete on their knowledge of environmental science and natural resources through a series of field station and written tests that put their teamwork and problem solving skills to the test, and an oral presentation where teams present their solution to a complex environmental issue.

​

How the 2024 Competition will be Scored

The competition scoring is based on both written tests and an oral scenario presentation which total to 700 points:
