Winning team receives $10,000 and will travel to Rome to be guest presenters at the World Congress on Climate Change in September
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. This unique 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.” Teams 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 ten finalists with $10,000 awarded to the winner. The competition is pleased to announce that the winning team will also be flown to Rome to be guest presenters at the World Congress on Climate change in Sept.
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 one to three students between ages 15 and 18.
“It is important for us to strongly support the next generation of STEM leaders and play an instrumental role in generating the international attention the competition deserves,” says Dr. Loren Skeist, President of Spellman HV Electronics.
Spellman High 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.
