Better World Challenge

Open to students and student-led organizations from around the globe, the Better World Challenge aims to inspire young innovators from multidisciplinary backgrounds to solve a social problem. This year, we are asking participants to re-imagine coastal communities that are now facing increasing threats of coastal erosion and climate change. The challenge: how do you build a better coastline? Open to creativity and ingenuity--we're looking for long-term sustainable solutions that go beyond traditional protective structures. The winner receives $1,000, an opportunity to work with the non-profit Save the Bay to advance their vision, a platform to showcase their idea to the Better World by Design community, as well as complimentary admission to our three-day conference (September 30-October 2, 2011) in Providence, RI.
