Overview
Welcome to the Green Tech Challenge where we want to see what great uses you have for modern technology to reduce material or energy use. This can be done with LED lights, solar power, drip irrigation, and so much more. The grand prize is a new iPad and a solar kit so you can use your technology wherever you go!
Once again, we're talking about modern technology, that stuff with circuits, in order to be more green. Being "green" here means using less materials such as water or paper or less energy from the outlet. How you do it is completely up to you. Just be sure to state what problem you're solving and what you did to fix it. We can't wait to see what it is!
Multiple entries are accepted, but each entrant can only win one prize. Contest is open to entries from US, Canada [excluding Quebec], UK, China, Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia, Colombia, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, India, and Denmark<. Contest closes for entries at 11:59pm PT, July 30, 2012.
