With common supplies and equipment that you can find at your local hardware store, anyone can build their own biodigester to produce biogas for cooking and heating from organic waste!
But what is the most efficient and cost effective design that will maximize output, conserve space and save time? That's what we hope YOU will discover with the Build a Biodigester Competition.
Teams of 2-4 people will have 3 weeks to design and gather supplies to build a small biodigester. Then everyone will come together for a hackathon-style weekend, March 31-April 2, to build their biodigesters.

Please RSVP for the Kick-off event here: https://www.meetup.com/C
You do not have to attend the Kick-off event to participate, however attendees will learn some key tips and tricks for building the best biodigester and meeting the competition guidelines. You will also have an opportunity to ask questions about the judging criteria, and get ideas for biodigester designs and materials considerations. You don't want to miss this!
Don't have a team? No sweat. Come to the Kick-off event and we'll find you one.
This is an open science event; no one will claim intellectual property from works created during the competition.
