The Queen's Engineering Sustainable Solutions and Technologies (QUESST) competition is an exciting initiative designed to foster a culture of innovation and equip Queen's students with the skills and drive to tackle pressing global challenges. By participating, students are not only indulging in academic design but are engaging deeply with real-world problems centered around sustainability. The event uniquely bridges theory with practice, allowing students to apply their classroom-acquired knowledge in tangible ways, driving them to think critically whilst participating in some friendly competition. QUESST also offers a platform for professional growth as participants will connect with industry experts, gaining invaluable mentorship and networking opportunities. By emphasizing teamwork and multifaceted problem-solving, QUESST not only nurtures technical proficiency but also interpersonal skills and cross-disciplinary understanding.
