Testimonials from Past Participants

"I've always had a strong interest in how things work and science allows my curiosity to blossom. Under this consideration, it is highly likely that engineering will be my career path."

"The L.I.V.E.S challenge was a great opportunity for me and my team to learn more about engineering, and enjoy an amazing visit to Cornell as well! The L.I.V.E.S. challenge encouraged me to “think outside the box” and value teamwork. Thank you so much for this opportunity, Cornell!"

The Cornell L.I.V.E.S. Challenge has offially launched, with final submissions due February 10, 2020!

The L.I.V.E.S. Challenge is a competition hosted by the Cornell chapter of Engineers for a Sustainable World, and offers students a chance to make a difference in their communities. Finalists will be awarded a sponsored trip to Cornell to present their solutions and interact with Cornell researchers. This year's challenge is Off-grid Energy Solutions, which asks you to develop a design for an off-grid energy system that takes advantage of the renewable resources for a community that has limited access to electricity.
