Material Detail

To bring together students from the broadest range of backgrounds to begin solving our most pressing environmental issues. The theme of PEID 2018 is “Cities of the Future”. This means any and all environmental issues and solutions related to our urban spaces broadly defined are fair game for this competition. This theme is broken down into seven main categories of issues: water, food, waste, energy, infrastructure, health, and education.

On Friday, everyone will come together to hear our keynote speaker, as well as attend panels. Afterwards, there will be socializing and free-form brainstorming/researching time. The goal is to have a team with the beginnings of an idea by the end of the day.

Beginning on Saturday morning, each team will begin running through the design thinking process: defining the problem, ideating possible solutions, doing more research, beginning to prototype, and putting the pitch together.

Twenty four hours later, the team will stand before the judges and present their idea. This will be followed by the awards ceremony.
