100 Hours Net Zero Challenge
Can You Innovate for a Sustainable Future?
In just 100 hours, can you develop a groundbreaking solution to an industry-specific problem that propels us toward net-zero emissions? This challenge is your opportunity to make a real impact with your creativity and ingenuity. Your solution could take any form—a new product, a cutting-edge app, a strategic policy, an educational campaign, a compelling business case, or something entirely unique. The only requirement? It must be designed with the planet and its people in mind.
To be eligible for participation, you must be a post-secondary student currently completing your first Canadian diploma or degree.
Note: The workload is expected to be spread across the team, meaning that not all group members have to contribute to each deliverable. For example, a group of 8 students could have have 2 students engaging in stakeholder communications, 2 students creating and delivering the presentation, and 4 students splitting up the documentation. At least half of the group members must attend the presentation.
- Preliminary conversations and guidance was sought out with at least 2 stakeholders. [team]
- Presentation and Q&A delivered at the virtual career fair, 15 minutes total. [team]
- Documentation of process and solution (1250-3000 words) including – a problem statement, stakeholder engagement processes, proposed solution, implementation plan, expected impact, economic/social/environmental sustainability, anticipated risks. [team]
- Completion of pre- and post- challenge surveys. While not part of scoring, all winners must complete these surveys before being awarded prizes. [individual]
Prizes to be announced! Stay tuned.
The top three winning groups will be determined by a judging committee of industry professionals. A peoples’ choice vote will be run for every grouping, with winners receiving an honourable mention.
Big picture judging criteria:
- The solution is relevant and thoroughly addresses the issue. This means that it considers the interests of various stakeholders, such as industry partners, government agencies, and local communities.
- The solution should be innovative and creative, addressing a real-life industry problem in a new or unique way.
- The solution should not only be feasible but also scalable. It should have the potential to be implemented at a larger scale or in other similar settings.
- The solution should be sustainable in the long term. It should consider the environmental, social, and economic aspects of sustainability.
- All work is professional and of high quality, in both the challenge process and the deliverables.
Last year was a great success, but this year promises to be even better!
