“Green Our Planet stood out to the judges because its work touches so many of the criteria we look to recognise with this Award. It’s a unique project that delivers impressive, tangible results – particularly in its approach to connecting children with sustainability and innovation, and equipping them with important life skills. I’d love to think that their work will help inspire a future generation of sustainability leaders who will join the world of motorsportus at Formula 1 one day.”
Aleš Veselý
CEO at Sazka, part of Allwyn, and F1® Allwyn Global Community Award judge
“At Allwyn, our ethos is ‘taking a chance gives you one,’ and Green Our Planet’s HydroConnect programme perfectly embodies that spirit. By combining STEM education with sustainable agriculture, it equips thousands of young students with vital real-world skills while addressing challenges like food insecurity and unequal access to education. We’re thrilled that our donation will help expand this impactful initiative, fostering future generations of innovators and changemakers.”
Ciara Byrne
CEO of Green Our Planet & F1® Allwyn Global Community Award winner
“At Green Our Planet, we believe that when students learn to grow food, they also grow curiosity, confidence, and a connection to the planet. To have Formula 1 and Allwyn— both global symbols of innovation — recognize that work means the world to us. Their support will help us bring hands-on STEM and sustainability education to even more students, empowering the next generation of innovators and caretakers of our planet.”
What is the GRO @ School Program?
The Program teaches young students how to grow food while mastering STEM, nutrition and sustainable agriculture.
It is Green Our Planet’s answer to addressing two interconnected challenges in under-resourced communities: inequitable access to high-quality STEM education and healthy food. Green Our Planet runs the largest hydroponics program in the United States operating in 1400+ schools in 44 states and impacting over 500,000 students. In Las Vegas, Green Our Planet works with over 200 schools.
