Two fourth-year students at Waterloo Engineering are finalists for a national award for social entrepreneurs.
Peter Cornelisse and Lucas Godkin, who are both studying mechanical engineering, are among four entries still in the running for the $25,000 NU National Student Award for Outstanding Social Entrepreneurship.
Created to celebrate students making a commitment to social enterprise as well as their academic studies, the award will be handed out Nov. 18 at the virtual Pivot on Purpose Summit.
Cornelisse and Godkin are developing a self-sufficient, off-grid, renewable energy generation and storage system called Hydro House.
Registrants for the conference can vote for a $10,000 people’s choice prize.
