PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES
Find Your SPARK! CASH PRIZE!
Temple’s Office of Sustainability is proud to announce that we will be organizing Temple’s participation in SPARK, a 24-hour (Nov. 8-9) think-tank style competition giving students the chance to solve real-world problems alongside professional engineers, scientists and corporate representatives. Hosted by Drexel’s Institute for Energy and the Environment, Villanova University, Temple University and national engineering company O'Brien & Gere (OBG), students will be asked to present solutions to meet industry needs. The winning student team will win a cash prize! The event will be held on Villanova’s campus, but Temple’s Office of Sustainability will provide transportation.
This is a great opportunity for students to interact with their peers at other Philadelphia universities, find internships and receive mentorship from professionals working in a variety of fields. Interdisciplinary teams will be comprised of representatives from all three schools. Each problem statement will have a sustainability component. Current clients for the competition include EPA, City of Philadelphia, and Comcast.
Participation in this event is a competitive process. SPARK will be open to all majors and Temple is capped at 20 students. Applications are due by October 26th.
