WPI students are invited to participate in WPI’s 15th Annual Sustainability Project Showcase, hosted by the Office of Sustainability and Gordon Library!
Submissions are open to any student project that tackles a sustainability-related problem, local or global, with consideration to at least one of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
A $500 cash prize* will be provided for winners in each of the graduate and undergraduate categories (including First-Year/Mass Academy, IQP/MQP and other). For consideration, submission by teams or individuals will require 1) a brief project description, 2) a PDF (poster or slide deck), 3) a brief video recording that presents the project and 4) tagging the appropriate SDG categories. We encourage the participation of ALL students who are interested in showcasing their sustainability project accomplishments, including those not interested in competing for an award (in which case students may opt out of the video recording).
*We want to make it clear that judging of these projects relies greatly on the video presentation. Therefore, only participants listed on the project material submission and who took part in the creation of the video presentation will be awarded prize money, should the project win.
Key dates:
- March 13: Online Registration Opens
- March 24: Online Registration Deadline
- March 31: PDF and Video Submission Deadline
- April 6-12: Virtual Showcase
- April 14: Celebration Event & Winners Announced
We welcome and encourage participation by all students and invite faculty to share this announcement with your students!
