Design Challenge
The Challenge:
create an environmentally sustainable product or app
The Girls Who Start annual ‘Environmental Sustainability Design Challenge Hackathon’ held on February 27, 2022, was the largest event to date, with over twenty teams, and included more than 100 middle school, high school, and college girls from around the world. Partnering with University Startups and with support from the David & Mikel Blair Foundation, the annual event inspires and supports girls to be tomorrow’s leaders and entrepreneurs.

A school trip to the Florida Keys inspired me to tackle plastic pollution. I founded Teens Against Plastic to empower young people to reduce waste, advocate for change, and protect our planet. Small actions lead to big impact—together, we can create a sustainable future. Let’s start today!
