2024 Switch Competition - Student Team Registration

Switch Energy Alliance presents the fifth Annual Switch Competition supported by Howard Energy Partners, Woodside, and the Hildebrand School of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering at the University of Texas in Austin..

Self-formed teams of 3-4 university students will participate virtually to identify solutions to some of the world's most pressing energy challenges. Students can be from the same school or different schools, but at least two students on each team must be undergraduate students (bachelor's candidates); remaining team member(s) can be graduate student(s) (MS or PhD candidates). All students must be currently enrolled at a college or university and may be pursuing any major.

Energy professionals will be available as mentors to guide teams as they develop their solutions. Through a live video conference shown throughout the world, the top teams will virtually compete before a panel of judges for $25,000 in prize money and the opportunity to apply for an esteemed internship. The deadline to apply is September 27th.
