Summary

The 2021 Solution Challenge, organized by Google Developer Student Clubs, invites university students worldwide to develop solutions for real-world problems using Google technologies to support the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Created in 2015, the 17 SDGs aim to eradicate poverty, ensure prosperity, and protect the planet by 2030. Participants in the Solution Challenge are encouraged to use technologies such as Android, TensorFlow, Google Cloud, and Flutter to address issues like employment, economic growth, and climate action. The competition offers various prizes, including mentorship from Google experts, subscriptions to Pluralsight, and features on Google platforms, with the top three teams receiving Chromebooks and meetings with Google executives. Students can join by registering online, selecting one or more SDGs, and submitting their projects by March 31, 2021. Google provides participants with resources like live sessions, mentorship, and codelabs to enhance their submissions, with winners announced over three rounds from May to August.
