Launched in 2020 by the RAPID Manufacturing Institute庐, ChemE Cube is an annual student competition where undergraduate university teams design, build, and demonstrate a 1 cubic foot plant to produce a chemistry defined in the annual problem statement.
Watch the above video to hear from recent ChemE Cube teams talking about the competition, which includes a head-to-head cube duel, a 1-minute ad to promote their technology, and 20-minute "shark tank" style pitch to a panel of mock investors. The theme for the 2023 competition, which will take place at AIChE鈥檚 Annual Student Conference in Orlando, is direct air capture.
ChemE Cube is a part of AIChE's Practice+, a component of the Institute for Learning & Innovation (ILI).
