Ambika Opal was invited as a guest presenter and judge for the Velocity Innovation Challenge, ran by Velocity. Three global challenges were presented to student participants: energy, food, and health. Ambika led the energy challenge. She conducted a presentation on energy access challenges and technologies to the students teams, including access to electricity, access to clean cooking fuels and technologies, and global statistics on energy access. Four teams chose to focus on the energy challenge, developing solutions such as clean cookstoves, lighting efficiency education programs, and renewable energy policy improvements for specific countries. The overall winner of the event was an energy team who designed a new clean cookstove and venting process to reduce indoor air pollution.
