Now in its 10th year, the MIT Energy & Climate Hack brings opportunities for learning, problem solving, and networking to the forefront as teams develop rapid, innovative solutions to the problems in energy and climate that our society faces today.
With challenges written for a myriad of fields and with our participants specializing across so many different disciplines, there is great opportunity for students and sponsors alike to apply their skills and learn something new.
In brief, participants will be presented with challenges from companies addressing pressing needs related to energy and the climate, and break out into teams. Those teams will then have two days to hack the challenge they’ve been assigned and present their solution to company representatives, fellow hackers, and judges. The presentations will be in the form of a short PowerPoint presentation. The judges will rank solutions and presentations and winning teams will receive prizes in various categories.
