Got a game-changing climate idea?

MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative and Conservation International are teaming up for this year's Hackathon for Climate, where minds from across MIT come together to brainstorm, propose, and develop nature-based solutions to climate change.

Teams can choose to problem-solve in one of three themes:

  1. Hacking the material world: minerals and the environmental consequences of extraction, acquisition, processing and distribution
  2. Hacking the digital world: data centers and environmental implications of the generation, storage, distribution, and consumption of digital things
  3. Open track: for that groundbreaking idea you've been waiting to explore!

 All MIT students, faculty, alumni, and staff are welcome! Lunch and coffee breaks included.

Advance registration is required - please register here:  https://esi-hackathon.eventbrite.com
