The U.S. Department of Energy Geothermal Collegiate Competition (GCC) invites teams from collegiate institutions to develop real-world geothermal solutions while competing for cash prizes and gaining resume experience in the renewable energy industry. The goal of the GCC is to provide students with an on-ramp to the renewable energy field and opportunities to engage with established industry professionals as well as their local communities.
In 2022, the Sooners Geothermal Team from the University of Oklahoma took the top prize in the competition with a system for repurposing abandoned oil and gas wells in Shawnee, Oklahoma for geothermal energy.
