The EGU Kids Art activity normally happens in person in the creche at the conference centre during the General Assembly, but first last year and now this year we have had to move all our activities online instead. Working together – two of our Division Early Career Scientist teams, one from Natural Hazards and one from Cryospheric Sciences came up with this year’s theme ‘Extreme e-ART-h’ and since the launch we have seen so many excellent representations of how our Earth can be pretty extreme!!
We have really loved seeing all of your submissions during the two weeks of the meeting and we wanted to share as many of the amazing creative contributions that have come in via social media and email here – apologies if we’ve missed yours – they were all wonderful!
EGU really wants to thank the two Divisions that co-ordinated this event fro their hard work helping to share the activity and the contributions, especially: Jenny Turton, Valeria Cigala, Ira Didenkulova and Thomas Chen – they’ve done a great job and this wouldn’t have happened without them!
In no particular order – here are as many of the entries we could manage for the #EGUartKIDS gallery this year.

“This is Shifa Shah from Brunei. I am a grade 5 student at Seri Mulia Sarjana International School Brunei Darussalam. I don’t like big earthquakes that is why I have sketched mild shaking due to a small earthquake. I am also attaching my younger sister, Amal Shah’s art on earthquake hazards. She is in grade 2, and at the same school where I study. My age is 9 years and Amal is 7 years old.”
