Episode Synopsis

The Wilkes Center held its second annual Climate Solutions Hackathon on January 26th.  This was not a coding “hackathon” but a competition to find innovative solutions to the daunting challenges of climate change-driven wildfires. U students were asked to form teams, choose one of five themes to focus their solution, and accomplish this in 24 hours.  Ultimately, the Wilkes Center received a total of 17 submissions, with 3 teams winning the top prizes.  In this episode I share my interviews with each of the winning teams  to learn who they are, what their solutions are, and how they came up with them.
