Mean, Green Recycling Machines: Undergraduate Scholarship Competition
The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) is hosting a research-based challenge for undergraduate students! The challenge is for students to develop a website on plastic recycling. Students will research their schools’ current process for recycling plastic and then design/create a strategy to make the process more efficient. Thorough submissions will include further research on the plastic recycling process, benefits of current recycling methods, and process improvement ideas. Your website could win you a $5,000 scholarship!
The deadline for this competition is Tuesday, November 30, 2021, and winners will be announced in late December.
Prizes:
· 1st place: $5,000 scholarship
