About Event

Calling all University of Toronto students: do you have what it takes to shape the future of climate solutions?

University of Toronto's Lawson Climate Institute, in partnership with Canada's Ocean Supercluster, a national, industry-led cluster that accelerates the development and commercialization of made-in-Canada ocean solutions, invites U of T students from all areas of study to put their ideas to the test. Teams will race against the clock to design bold, practical answers to real climate challenges, and pitch their solutions to experts. This is an exciting chance for students to showcase their creativity, gain hands-on experience, and compete for recognition during one of Toronto’s biggest climate events. In addition to the cash prizes, select winning teams will have the opportunity to present their work at industry forums, along with mentorship opportunities with the judges.

What is expected from you:

  1. After the kick-off event on Sept. 22, form groups of 4–5 students (multi-disciplinary backgrounds preferred but NOT required)

  2. Download the Powerpoint presentation pitch deck template here.

  3. Upload your team’s Powerpoint presentation pitch deck here by Sept 29 at 11:59pm EST. A Google account sign-in is required.

    • Tip: You can add additional information as appendix, so don’t cram your presentation!

  4. Pitch your solution with a 15 minute presentation and 10 minutes Q&A on Oct 3 in front of our judging panel.

Good to know:

  • Groups are highly encourage to send at least one group member to attend Sept 22 event, but it is NOT mandatory. Register here.
