Conservation charity the National Trust for Scotland is asking secondary schools pupils to design an interactive, environmentally-themed game to take out on the road next summer.
The Trust launched its competition at Ben Lomond near Drymen, Scotland’s most southerly Munro. Ben Lomond is one of the most popular mountains in Scotland, with around 30,000 walkers of all ages visiting it each year. Helping Trust staff at the launch were pupils from Drymen Primary, who were photographed doing their best to try and figure out some initial ideas.
The Ben Lomond Design Competition challenges teams of pupils to invent a portable, interactive game which is easy to set up and explain, is fun for all ages and which highlights how we need to conserve our environment.
The Trust hopes that the new family activity will raise awareness of its work to care for Scotland’s countryside and wildlife.
There are a range of prizes on offer, including Amazon vouchers for school equipment, iTunes vouchers and of course, the winning entry will be used week-in week-out by the Ben Lomond team on their travels.
