Join the “Design-A-Thon: Mindshifts on Megafires” to help end devastating wildfires. The Design-A-Thon brings together UC San Diego students from all disciplines and experience levels in a pitch-style competition to apply the Design Thinking process to proactive solutions to end destructive wildfires.
All teams will be invited to present their submissions on April 20 after the Design@Large panel on “Climate Risk Reduction and Technology”. Selected teams will further develop their design concepts during a summer internship.
