The CZITT AI Energy Hackathon transforms secondary school students from passive consumers of electricity into active analysts and problem-solvers. Using their favourite AI tools, real school energy data, and their own knowledge of their school environment, teams will generate code, analyse their electricity consumption, and propose practical pathways to reduce their school’s carbon footprint.
This is not a theoretical exercise. It is applied digital skills development, youth-led climate action, and tangible movement toward national climate goals—rolled into one scalable, partner-ready programme.
By the end, students do not just understand climate science—they can interrogate data, write basic analytical code, and deliver evidence-backed recommendations to their school principals and beyond.
The Hackathon is not a coding competition for its own sake. It is a deliberate, mentorship‑rich intervention that joins digital skills, youth climate action, and national emissions reduction into one practical package.
