Summary
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Geothermal Collegiate Competition (GCC) invites teams from collegiate institutions to develop real-world geothermal solutions while competing for cash prizes and gaining resume experience in the renewable energy industry.
Students of all majors, minors, and career paths are encouraged to participate in the annual geothermal competition. The theme for the competition is updated each year; past topics have included applications for geothermal heat pump technology and heating and cooling buildings, campuses, districts, or entire communities.
Through this competition, students gain renewable energy industry experience and have opportunities to engage with established industry professionals as well as their local communities. Competing in the GCC can serve as an on-ramp into the renewable energy field, and from there into shaping the future of geothermal and the transition to a clean energy economy.
Registration for the Fall 2023 Geothermal Collegiate Competition will open August 1, 2023. This year's competition will feature two tracks: Technical and Policy. Cash prizes of $10,000 for first place teams and $6,000 for second place teams will be awarded in each track. Final deliverables will be due December 2023, with an optional progress submission due in October 2023.
