Are you looking to gain experience valuable to future employers? Are you passionate about the environment? Do you want to put your knowledge to use? Then you may be interested the Environmental Ideathon!
Final application deadline is 3/22.
Held from April 5th to April 7th, our theme is the Green Metropolis whereby we aim to draft project proposals that have the potential to reduce carbon emission in selected cities. You will choose one city in which you will work with a team and identify an environmental problem that is related to at least one of five categories: energy, transportation, water, waste, and food.
There are three components to the competition: a project proposal, an optional prototype, and a lightning talk. You will be guided by experts from all the necessary disciplines to draft a project proposal (it may be a physical product, policy, or both). If applicable, we want a preliminary prototype. The lightning talk will occur in front of a panel of judges.
The objective of the Princeton Environmental Ideathon (PEID) is to bring together a diverse collection of young individuals passionate about solving environmental issues, and to provide them with the opportunity to debate, collaborate, and ideate.
Winning Teams have the choice to connect with outside organizations to develop their proposal.
