To celebrate the giraffe new arrival and Science Week 2019, Dublin Zoo is calling upon your school class to participate in ‘The Giraffe Habitat Challenge’. This innovative competition tasks budding young designers to try their hand at creating a new giraffe habitat.

To enter, teachers will sign up their students to a one-day programme at Dublin Zoo where they will learn from a team of experts including zookeepers, engineers and sustainability experts before setting on their challenge to design a new giraffe habitat.

‘The Giraffe Habitat Challenge’ takes place from Monday 4^th to Friday 8^th November and Monday 11^th to Friday 15^th November 2019 in Dublin Zoo. The programme has been specifically designed for 3^rd – 6^th class primary students and 1^st to transition year secondary students.

The winner, one primary school entry and one secondary school entry, will receive an incredible €2,000 off their school’s electricity bill for a year. The runners up will secure a trip to W5 in Belfast for their entire class, with thanks to SSE Airtricity. SSE Airtricity is Ireland’s largest provider of 100% green energy and sustainability partner to Dublin Zoo.
