Join this semester's ideathon and create a sustainable solution for oceans’ waste and beach plastics. Get paid to learn, create, and have an impact!

This ideathon is a great chance to work in a team to solve a unique problem and find a sustainable and efficient way to (partially) solve the global problem of water pollution and oceans’ waste.
