Overview

Harness the power of renewable energy in the Renewable Energy Contest! The winners will take home fantastic prizes including solar ovens from GoSun Stove.

Renewable energy is anything that can be replenished on a human timescale, so that means things like sun, wind, rain, waves, geothermal, and human power.

Who knows: if you expend a little bit of your human energy now, maybe you’ll win the Renewable Energy Contest later!
