Good Afternoon, We are 5 days away from the Energy Innovation Challenge application going live! I am reaching out before the application period to provide you with all necessary information and resources that you may require. Additionally, I continue to make myself available for any questions you have about this event or to discuss the competition with you further. Below you will find all the information your students will need to participate in this year's competition. Information Session Registration: The application will be live August 30th, but students can now register to take part in our Info Sessions. These sessions are to provide students with information about this year's competition, and the opportunity to form teams if they have not already done so. As a reminder these will be regional so be sure students sign up for the appropriate region or the weekend session. They can register with either link below: EIC Website<https://www.aes.com/innovation-challenge>* *This link will also have access to the application starting Tuesday August 30th, but we will send out additional communications starting next week. Documents & Resources: I have attached two documents that can be used to discuss the competition with students and colleagues. First, is our marketing flyer that contains key information, dates, and contact information. Second, is a PowerPoint slide that you, and colleagues, could use during class. This also has all the key information and dates but may be easier to share to a class of graduate students. The best way for students to contact our team is at (innovationchallenge@aes.com<mailto:innovationchallenge@aes.com>). As always do not hesitate to reach out with questions. We look forward to kicking off the 2022 Energy Innovation Challenge next week!
