Challenges

Are you ready to address pressing sustainability issues facing our communities and industries today? 

The Sustainability Solutions Lab brings together students to take part in a dynamic, hands-on program where you’ll investigate real-world challenges and develop innovative, practical solutions. 

Over five weeks, you work in teams, dedicating 40 hours to research, analyzing, and problem-solving around a sustainability theme challenge. In the final week, each team will present their solution to a panel of judges. 

This is your opportunity to apply what you’ve learned in the classroom, collaborate with peers, connect with industry leaders, and grow your work-ready skills.  

Participants who successfully complete the challenge will receive an honorarium of $525. 

Applications are not open yet. 

Our next rounds are coming up in fall 2025 and winter 2026.
