The Sustainable Energy Practices Challenges project for Sustainable Energy Days 2023 is a competition designed to encourage students to develop and implement environmentally friendly ideas. This competition will provide opportunities for students to increase their awareness of sustainable energy and improve their sensitivity to the environment.

For example, issues such as water conservation, recycling, energy conservation and environmentally friendly transportation methods will be studied. There will also be competitions aimed at increasing students' awareness of how renewable energy sources can be used.
