The Clean Energy Zone's Sustainability Design Challenge is back! And this year it is taking place online.  

For the second year in a row, we're calling on Ryerson students with ideas that target barriers to renewable energy to enter into our contest and help innovate sustainable solutions.

This contest is a great opportunity to meet new people and network, learn new skills through workshops from our mentors, and creatively solve real world problems.
