Embrace the Future of Clean Growth! econext is thrilled to announce it’s fourth ideathon, paving the way for innovative solutions that will drive sustainable progress in Newfoundland and Labrador. This time, we are bringing the ideathon the CNA Prince Philip Drive Campus! The weekend-long event, open to all CNA students, will be taking place in-person November 15-17, 2024.
Ideathons are competitive events in which students work together in teams over a short timeframe to come up with solutions to a set challenge. Our ideathons are a space to develop innovative solutions for clean growth in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The specific challenge, relating to clean growth, will be released at the beginning of the weekend where we will provide you with all the necessary information needed to participate.
Teams will consist of 3-5 students.
