Empowering young people to build a better world.
Affiliated to The Earthshot Prize and supported by a phenomenal group of expert advisors, Project Earth empowers young people to innovate.
We offer support and advice to bring their ideas to fruition, to amplify ideas and to showcase phenomenal creativity and imagination.
Other accelerator initiatives focus on people between 18 – 35.
We at Project Earth are an accelerator for young people between 8 -18 because we know they have huge potential and want agency in shaping their future.
We have also found in the pilot, which involves technological innovation, social transformation and cultural exchange, that tackling problems collaboratively helps to alleviate climate anxiety.

Project Earth will be hosting a Pitch for the Planet event at the Royal Institution on 26th June 2026
meet some of our advisors
We are grateful for the support of our advisors, whose expertise in the fields of science, technology and education, enables us to support young people to enact real change through a framework of guidance, mentoring and advocacy.
our approach
We are developing this vision initially with schools and partners across the world, being particularly concerned to develop links with Africa and the global south and work with partners who can help facilitating this.
Schools might run Project Earth as a club or part of wider eco or climate initiatives. Students over 18 or teachers acting for students under 18 submit a form about your project idea which then starts our action.
We might help you link with an advisor or a local university or suitable company. Some projects might be stand alone ideas and some might benefit from collaboration across schools. We will aim to highlight innovative projects on our website to showcase students’ work.
