The Fairchild Challenge at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens fosters interest in the environment by encouraging teenagers to investigate, devise imaginative and effective responses, and to take action at many levels on environmental issues through a menu of Challenges.

This week we’re joined by Nick, Derek, Ryan, and Andrew, all seniors and members of the Shaler Area High School team, who, in addition to winning multiple challenges, also received first place for the entire 2011-2012 Fairchild Challenge.
