About this event

How can technology help us build a better world? The Solution Challenge is Google's global annual contest that invites all Google Developer Student Club members (including you!) to develop solutions to real world problems utilizing Google technologies. This year’s Solution Challenge asks participants to solve for one or more of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Since 2019, thousands of students have participated in the Solution Challenge and have coded their way to a better world!

  • Awards: Top 50 Global Finalists and top winners receive mentorship from Google, cash prizes, swag, besides a great project (and story) to their portfolios!
  • Timeline: Solution Challenge teams (up to four people) can register and submit a project between January 11 - March 31, 2022. In this timeframe you can work on your project at your own pace.

Interested in participating and learning more? There're many upcoming events and resources to support your journey with Solution Challenge 2022!

  1. IMPORTANT STEP: Fill out this 2-minute form as an individual or as a team to connect with the Zurich GDSC community. We will use this information to plan future events that are relevant for you: helping to place individuals within teams, hosting guest speakers and previous winners who can offer tips as well as training on innovative technologies to support your project, and more! (We encourage you to fill in the form also if you cannot attend but want to participate in the competition)
  2. GDSC 2022 Solution Challenge Kick-off (Wed, Jan 19) will provide an overview of the competition, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the Google technologies you can use for your project, and the chance to network with others. To attend please register yourself at this GDSC global event page as well (agenda and speakers presented inside). 
  3. GDSC-EU Ideathon (Fri, Jan 21 - Sun, Jan 23) will help you with your solution challenge submission, get the experience you can write about in your resume, and win cool prizes. Gather your friends (or meet new ones during the event!) and produce an idea that solves a real global problem. Google and Google Developers support this event. For more details and to register here.

For more information, read the 2022 Google Solution Challenge announcement, explore the webpage, and learn stories from the 2021 edition on the Google Developers blog!

We look forward to seeing many of you!
