The Green Tech Jam

From April 16 to 17, 2021, students will spend 2 days working on future green tech digitalization solutions as part of an online hackathon. Students from different disciplines (coders, designers, developers, engineers, environmental system scientists, …) in interdisciplinary teams are working on creative new solutions for the Green Tech sector. Green Tech Jammers rapidly prototype product/service designs and develop new ideas to foster growth in the green tech industry. The results will be presented in 10 minutes pitches in front of a professional jury.
