The Center for Science Teaching & Learning (CSTL) has extended the application deadline for the 2018 Spellman High Voltage Electronics Clean Tech Competition to March 30, 2018. This international research and design challenge for pre-college youth encourages scientific understanding of real-world environmental and energy use challenges. This year’s theme is “Solving Climate Change.” High school teams across the nation and around the globe are challenged to identify and analyze specific problems associated with climate change in detail before designing a clean technology solution.
Monetary prizes are provided to the top 10 finalists with $10,000 awarded to the winner. The winning team will also be flown to Rome, Italy to be guest presenters at the World Congress on Climate Change in September 2018.
Teams of young people from around the globe are urged to participate in the competition. For information or to submit an application, visit www.cleantechcompetition.org.
The competition’s goal is to foster students’ deeper understanding of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) related concepts, recognize outstanding talent and prepare the next generation of globally competitive innovators.
CSTL, a not-for-profit organization with a mission of encouraging science learning and literacy, is accepting applications from high schools representing teams of 1 to 3 students between ages 15 and 18. The competition’s finals will take place at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, NY on Thursday, July 12. Teams will present to judges and display their innovative solutions.
Spellman High Voltage Electronics, the competition’s major sponsor, is a leader in high voltage technology in the medical, industrial and scientific fields. For information about CSTL or the 2018 Spellman HV Clean Tech Competition, visit www.cleantechcompetition.org or call (516) 764-0045.
