The overall theme of the US-China Green Electronics Challenge is to prevent the creation of electronic waste. Our mission is to redefine the concept of "waste": yesterday's integrated circuits could be tomorrow's treasure! We want to see authors upcycle or hack an electronic product to create a new electronic product; repair an electronic product; create a sustainable electronic product; and/or create artwork from used electronic products. The Challenge, organized and led by partners in the United States and China, is a joint effort to encourage innovation and environmental protection.
We're partnering with Arizona State University, The New America Foundation, Slate magazine, and Tsinghua University. Learn more about the competition and our partners at greenelectronicschallenge.com.
