Curtin partnered with Aramco last weekend to host the EcoPulse Hackathon, bringing together 75 students from universities across Western Australia to tackle real-world challenges and reimagine the future of energy.

Working in teams, participants developed creative solutions in areas including smart and sustainable oilfield operations, decarbonisation and hydrogen technologies, and renewable energy integration and digitalisation. Their innovative ideas impressed Aramco representatives, showcasing the talent and innovation of WA students.

A big thank you to the academic mentors from the Faculty of Science and Engineering and Curtin Global, who joined Aramco and operational partner Civic Hackers to make the event possible.
