Top 15 Finalists and Best Documentation Award

A huge round of applause to our students, Team Carbon Footprint, for making it to the Top 15 Finalists and winning Best Documentation Award — and the opportunity to develop their hackathon ideas further with $3000 in seed funding! 

Organised jointly by Temasek Foundation and Science Centre Singapore, The Young Technopreneurs For A Sustainable 2030 Challenge saw over 40 teams from various schools designing prototype solutions to achieve sustainable development. 

The team designed an app which tracks the carbon footprint of its user, based on the products purchased and consumed, simply by scanning the product barcode. Users would be allocated points based on a competitive leaderboard system to encourage sustainable consumption which would be used to redeem rewards in the future.
