Circular Economy Hackathon Application Form
Apply individually to be sorted into a group, or with a group of 4-6 people. Nearly 100 retired wind turbine housings need a second life. We're looking for designers, engineers, students, businesses, and creative thinkers to propose innovative reuse ideas through a 24-hour hackathon in February. This is an application form. After you submit, we'll review your application to make sure you're a good fit and genuinely interested in participating. If selected, you'll be invited for a brief chat with us, then we'll send you all the event details. If you're not selected, we'll let you know via email.
