How well does your EWB chapter understand sustainability? How well does your chapter work together as a team with limited resources and limited time? A sustainability competition will be held on Saturday afternoon/evening in which teams of students from each chapter will be given a sustainability challenge to achieve using simple materials (all materials will be provided).
