Details

The CleanTech Innovation Challenge is designed to enable learners to apply their STEM knowledge to the cleantech sector, focusing on developing solutions to pressing environmental issues. Participants will work in teams to identify a specific environmental challenge, such as reducing carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency, or enhancing waste management. The goal is to create a feasible and innovative solution that can be implemented in real-world scenarios. This project encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, allowing learners to transition their existing skills into the cleantech industry. By the end of the project, participants will have gained valuable experience in addressing environmental challenges through technological and scientific approaches.

Deliverables

Teams are expected to deliver a comprehensive project report and a presentation outlining their proposed solution. The report should include an analysis of the environmental challenge, the proposed solution, and its potential impact. Additionally, a prototype or detailed design of the solution should be developed to demonstrate its feasibility. The presentation will allow teams to showcase their findings and receive feedback from peers and instructors.
