Bring your renewable energy and help us build WSU’s Solar Decathlon home! 

The team is recruiting alumni, friends, and the community to help us compete in the Department of Energy’s competition (you can learn more about WSU’s entry in the competition here).  Volunteers are needed to finish the build in Pullman.

No experience necessary (we will train you by task), but if you’re an experienced hand, all the better!  We can promise you a tremendous Cougar welcome as you work side-by-side with a crew of passionate students.

When?
Let us know when you can be here.  Below are the timeframes we can use volunteers.  (We can us as much or as little time as you are able to spare.)

Pullman: August 8 – August 31, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
