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.
The final date to register for the Fall 2023 Geothermal Collegiate Competition is October 4, 2023. Mentors will not be assigned to teams who register after September 13.
