GreenPioneers

About the Challenge Welcome to the Green Pioneers Hackathon! This is a hackathon organized by YPStem that invites students from all over the world to engineer a solution to an environmental problem! Our goal is to give students the opportunity to explore the world around them and experiment in creating an impactful solution. Participants are encouraged to be creative and choose themes ranging from waste management to plastic pollution. We deeply hope that you will be able to enjoy the process of finding a solution and take pleasure in aiding the community.   YPStem will be posting weekly events (guest speakers, workshops, etc.) to help students find information about their topic and pick up new skills that could aid in the creation of their prototype/design/idea.
