Stanford Cleantech Challenge

Stanford Energy Club is excited to present the Stanford Cleantech Challenge - Stanford's first-ever clean energy hackathon! Four cutting-edge companies from various areas of the clean energy space will each pose a compelling, real-world challenge to teams of students.  As a cleantech hacker, you will have 24 hours to develop a creative, innovative solution proposal to a challenge of your choice. These challenges will draw from a wide variety of disciplines, including engineering, finance and policy (this is not the traditional computer science hackathon). Cash prizes will be awarded to the top winners!

We invite Stanford students from all degree programs and departments - the only prerequisite to participate is an excitement for clean energy!  You will also receive a unique opportunity for direct engagement with industry leaders and Stanford faculty working on clean energy technologies.

Do not miss out on this incredible opportunity to hack the cleantech sector!
