Intel challenges students
European leaders have agreed to have 20% of overall energy needs met by renewable sources by 2020, as the focus on environmental challenges and the need to use available resources more efficiently increases.
Intel’s challenge is designed to encourage young entrepreneurs to take an interest in technology and devise ingenious and eco friendly ways to recharge laptop batteries. The target is to fuel a high-performance laptop for an hour by using renewable energy sources. The teams must enter their inventions by October.
The winning university will be awarded funding to support more scientific research.
Early entrants are the Technical University of Munich, the Dublin Institute of Technology, Milan’s Politecnico, and the Delft University of Technology.
