Details

The main objective of the EcoTech Innovation Challenge is to empower learners to design and develop innovative technology solutions that address pressing environmental challenges. In this project, learners will have the opportunity to apply their creativity and problem-solving skills to develop sustainable tech products that contribute to environmental conservation and promote eco-friendly practices.

Problem Statement:

Learners will be tasked with identifying a specific environmental challenge, such as air or water pollution, deforestation, plastic waste, or climate change, and developing a technology-driven solution to mitigate its impact. Whether it's creating a device to reduce energy consumption, an app to promote recycling, or a sensor to monitor air quality, learners will have the freedom to explore various environmental issues and propose innovative solutions.

Expected Outcome:

By the end of the project, learners are expected to have designed and prototyped a sustainable technology product that addresses the identified environmental challenge. Additionally, learners will develop a comprehensive marketing strategy to promote their product and raise awareness about the importance of environmental conservation.
