BTO’s JUMP into STEM Launches its Fourth Year of Buildings-Related Challenges

JUMP (Join the discussion, Unveil innovation, Make connections, Promote tech-to-market) into STEM is launching its fourth year of challenges on August 16, 2021. The U.S. Department of Energy’s online building energy-efficiency competition is open to teams of two to four students enrolled at U.S. colleges and universities. The program encourages diverse students to solve critical challenges in the field of building science. To date, 14 students have interned at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) or the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) after winning the competition. New this year, winners of the competition will have the opportunity to receive paid 10-week internships at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in addition to ORNL and NREL.
