The Carbon-Neutral PolyU 48 Hours Hackathon came to a successful conclusion last week, leaving us inspired by the remarkable projects, amazing ideas, and the passionate students. During the 48 hours from 16 May 2024 to 18 May 2024, students from different programmes came together to tackle the pressing issue of climate change and generate innovative green ideas for the betterment of our campus. Throughout the intensive 48 hours, all teams demonstrated a high level of commitment, making the most of every opportunity to seek guidance and advice from our mentors. We are grateful to Mr Ryan Lee and Mr Elvis Yiu from CFSO, as well as Dr An Wang, Dr Zeyu Zhang, Mr Junrong Su, and Mr Hanyu Sun from CEE, for their invaluable support and expertise in refining the ideas from each teams.
The hard work and dedication from each teams culminated in the highly anticipated project and prize presentation on 20 May 2024. It was a thrilling event where the teams showcased their innovative solutions and demonstrated their understanding of carbon-neutrality. The projects presented were a testament to their creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. 4 teams impressed the judges with their astonishing ideas and impactful solutions and were awarded HK$10,000 in cash prizes, along with 3,000 PolyU GreenCoins as a token of appreciation. Congratulations on the teams’ well-deserved contribution! We would also like to recognize the Best Presentation Team, whose outstanding performance earned them a special prize of HK$1,000 cash prize.
We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all the students and mentors for making this hackathon a resounding success. Their commitment to driving positive change and finding sustainable solutions is truly inspiring and we believe that this event has truly left a lasting impact!
