We are excited to see more unique designs from this year’s contestants and are honored to again have the opportunity to provide the curriculum and tools students need for the contest,” adds Rea Callender, vice president of education at Altium. “It was fascinating to see 87 teams from around the world participate, leveraging the printed circuit board design knowledge they had learned from Altium’s Upverter Education, to address important environmental issues. Altium features multiple educational initiatives designed to support high school STEM teachers and students, along with programs to support college students and industry professionals. Participating teams will enter the design challenge while harnessing Altium Upverter EducationĪnd the Upverter Modular tool. Last year’s entries showed an amazing combination of ingenuity, curiosity, and technical skills in their designs, and we’re excited to see what new and innovative STEM solutions the teams will submit this year.”
The teams will be challenged to tackle one or more environmental concerns, such as air pollution, water quality, and solar energy capture.Īs Yu Hu, head of Arduino Education, elaborates, “At Arduino, we believe that it is very crucial to empower the scientists and engineers of the future to address the common challenges of our time by using technology for the benefit of many. To create prototype designs that will improve the environment in each team's respective local area.
PCB design software and the Arduino Portenta H7
, which addressed various local environmental issues, including city traffic, shoreline erosion, bushfire detection, honey bee endangerment, and more.
Over 17 countries submitted entries to last year's competition (#PCBeTheChange) engages student teams to help address common environmental concerns using Altium’s educational tools with Arduino hardware. The Innovation for Environmental Change 2022 International Student Design Competition
