DESCRIPTION:The World Savvy Challenge Bay Area Regional Competition\nMarch 17, 
 2012\n9am-4:00pm\nSan Francisco State University\n1600 Holloway Avenue, San 
 Francisco, CA 94132\nMcKenna Theater – Opening and Closing 
 Ceremonies,\nCreative Arts – Student Exhibits\nHumanities – Student 
 Presentations\n\n\nOn March 17, 2012, global education non-profit World 
 Savvy will host The World Savvy Challenge Bay Area Regional Competition in 
 partnership with San Francisco State University’s School of 
 Education.\n\nWHO: Hundreds of students from across the Bay Area are 
 participating in the program, and nearly 300 of them will get to attend the 
 event on March 17th to share their research and solutions with parents, 
 volunteer judges, educational leaders, and community guests.  All told we 
 expect almost 600 people.  Delivering remarks at the opening ceremony is 
 Bryant Terry, local author of The Inspired Vegan among other books, 
 eco-chef, and activist.\n\nWHAT: The World Savvy Challenge is an academic 
 program that engages middle and high school students in project based 
 learning and solution seeking around a global theme, which for the next two 
 years is “Sustainable Communities”.  Through the program, students work 
 in teams to explore the theme, identify a topic and problem for further 
 research, and develop potential solutions to their problem at the 
 community, national and international level.  Students then create a 
 Knowledge-to-Action plan for how they can be involved in implementing their 
 solution at one or more of these levels. Students will also engage in 
 collaborative discussions with peers from other schools about existing 
 strategies for addressing a problem related to the theme.  Ultimately, the 
 program empowers students to take informed action to address 21st century 
 challenges locally and globally. \n\nWHEN: Saturday, March 17th – 
 9am-4:00pm \n\nWHERE: San Francisco State University (opening and closing 
 ceremonies take place in the McKenna Theater in the Creative Arts building) 
 \n\nWHY:  Many of today´s most pressing issues - protecting the 
 environment, poverty, hunger, halting terrorism and responding to the 
 worldwide economic crisis – are global in scope and can only be 
 effectively addressed with international cooperation. The World Savvy 
 Challenge helps students develop the knowledge, skills, values and 
 attitudes necessary to effectively problem solve on a global level, and 
 thrive as responsible global citizens.\n\nFor more information, contact
