About S.W.E.E.T.

CSUN's Solar Wind Energy Engineering Team (S.W.E.E.T) program is a hands-on journey into renewable energy. Students get to build a sustainable, net-zero energy home, learning about solar and wind tech along the way. It's not just about textbooks; they collaborate, solve real-world problems, and even share their knowledge with the community. This program isn't just about building homes – it's about shaping the next wave of eco-innovators and spreading the word on green living. In a world facing climate challenges, CSUN's S.W.E.E.T is lighting the way for our future.

OCSD 2023 Decathlon

October 5-15, 2023


Fourteen college teams, including some from California and others from around the world, are gearing up to show off their vision of sustainable living. The teams are set to construct and display the homes at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, CA. They're building eco-friendly modular homes packed with the latest green tech. Visitors can expect hands-on demos, insightful talks, and a peek into the future of housing. Tours will be given, vendors will showcase their products, and there will be networking opportunities. In short, it's not just a competition; it's a fun-filled glimpse into the future of green living.
