About the challenge

The Energy Club is a professional society dedicated to promoting energy education, innovation, and sustainability. Our aim is to advance discussion about pressing energy challenges, engage diverse sectors to impact the energy industry, and foster a passion for energy solutions among students. 

EnergyHack @GT is a hackathon designed to bring together passionate students to develop solutions addressing the critical challenges in the energy industry. Over the course of 36 hours, participants will collaborate in teams to brainstorm, design, and prototype projects (for example, AI/ML projects, web-based tools, mobile applications, etc.) that promote sustainable practices based on diverse problem statements. The projects will be evaluated by an esteemed panel of judges. Along with showcasing keynote speeches and educational workshops, the event will culminate with the Top 3 teams winning cash prizes. This will be an in-person competition held on campus.
