The system-wide event will bring students from all 10 campuses to Silicon Valley to present their climate science and carbon reduction research in three-minute pitches at a live competition before a panel of esteemed judges and guests for a chance to win cash prizes. UC students and teams interested in being selected to attend and compete in the Carbon Slam event can submit their application through the system-wide portal at carbonslam.org. Attendance is by invitation only. Please email Sue Carter if you have any questions.
