UV K-12 Challenge 2020

UV K-12 Challenge 2020

Introduction:

Universal Village (UV) is a new concept proposed by MIT’s UV program. UV exemplifies an ideal future society that addresses the challenges that cities are currently facing in the process of development and pursues harmony between humans and nature through the wise use of advanced technologies.

UV International Conferences call for intensive interdisciplinary collaboration among world-renowned experts to address global challenges.  Previous UV conferences (UV2013, UV2014, UV2016, and UV2018) were groundbreaking international venues that inspired successful collaboration among governments, academia, and industries as well as civil society, and UV2020 will be yet another important milestone.

UV K-12 challenge is a new program starting at UV2020 which aims to increase awareness among the young generation of the challenges and dilemmas humans face.  It will cultivate young people’s creativity and leadership, encourage students’ entrepreneurial enthusiasm, and contribute to building a better world.

UV K-12 challenge is an inclusive, education-oriented special session. All K-12 students who care about harmony between humans and nature are welcome to participate in this challenge. If you or your team has excellent ideas or project plans in any of the listed categories, please participate in this inspiring and exciting program.

Please share your passion and creative ideas with us. We are here to help you make your team’s dreams happen.  Together, we will make the world a better place!
