5th Annual Central Texas Student Innovation Showcase
May 3, 2019 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Hosted by the City of Austin Office of Sustainability and EcoRise –
Come meet the next generation of innovators at our 5th Annual Student Innovation Showcase at Austin City Hall.
20 student teams from across Central Texas will present their innovative, Eco-Audit Grant funded projects in a science-fair style format. Prepare to be wowed by elementary, middle, and high school students who have developed a deep understanding of complex sustainability challenges ranging from soil erosion migration to energy campaigns to waste management strategies.
Through EcoRise’s Eco-Audit Grant program, and the City of Austin Office of Sustainability‘s Bright Green Future Grant Program, these students identified specific sustainability challenges on their campuses and designed innovative solutions to tackle them. A wide range of projects were submitted and funded from across Central Texas this year. Select teams will be at Austin City Hall on May 3rd to showcase their inspiring work.
