Dear Youth Leader,

Looking for something fun to do with kids of all ages this summer? Design Squad, the PBS engineering reality competition series, is offering kids a chance to get in on the action this summer. Complement your summer education efforts and increase the chances of someone from YOUR program appearing on the next season of Design Squad by encouraging kids to enter.
The 2010 Trash to Treasure Competition challenges kids, ages 5-19, to recycle, reuse, and re-engineer everyday materials into out-of-the-box inventions. Three winners will win a trip to Boston to see their designs built and appear on an episode of Design Squad. Twenty-five finalists will be featured on the series website and will receive a Design Squad t-shirt. Entries will be accepted through September 5, 2010 at pbs.org/designsquad. or http://pbskids.org/designsquad/contest/index.html
