GENIUS Olympiad is an international high school project competition organized by Terra Science and Education that challenges students to develop innovative solutions to environmental problems. Students submit original projects in one of eight disciplines (AI, Art, Coding, Entrepreneurship, Music, Robotics, Science, and Short Film), all centered on environmental themes. Finalists are invited to compete at the annual finals event held each June at St. John Fisher University in Rochester, New York, where they present their work alongside talented peers from around the world. It is a remarkable opportunity for environmentally minded students to gain global recognition for their creativity and problem-solving skills.
