Digital Infrastructure Student Idea Challenge 2020

Hello All,

As part of Bentley Institute’s commitment to preparing the next generation of infrastructure professionals, we are pleased to announce the Digital Infrastructure Student Idea Challenge 2020!

With migration, urbanization, and climate change placing increasing stress on the world’s built environment, the industry must transform and innovate to deliver resilient infrastructure. We’re looking for students from around the world to come up with visionary ideas and innovative concepts that have the potential to transform infrastructure and make a positive impact in the world.

Who can participate?

The challenge is open to individual students (or teams of two) either in high school or pursuing a graduate or post-graduate degree.

What is the Digital Infrastructure Student Idea Challenge 2020?

To participate, students need to select a challenge that is relevant to any infrastructure domain and propose a smart, innovative solution concept. Students should submit a presentation of their conceptual ideas, not a detailed technical solution with a design. However, students should describe how software technology could play a role in their proposed concept.

What are the important dates?

The project submission period will open February 10th and close April 10th, 2020. The results will be announced on May 10th, 2020.

What are the prizes?

On top of gaining recognition, the top winning team will receive USD $5,000. The winners of the Best Presentation, Best Challenge, and Best Solution categories will also win USD $2,000 each!

If you’re passionate about your idea and ready to dream big, then this challenge is for you!
