Who runs the Caribbean UEnergyHub?

The initiative is led by CZITT, the Carbon Zero Institute of Trinidad and Tobago, with Screaming Power Inc. and its MartinAI platform. Together they bring education, research, climate stewardship, energy innovation and AI to deliver practical regional solutions.

What makes this more than a sponsorship?

The UEnergyHub is intended as a permanent regional resource. Support helps create research, education, workforce development, community engagement and innovation capacity, not just event visibility.

How much does it cost to sponsor?

We do not list fixed prices on the site. Sponsorship is shaped around your goals and budget, from backing a single school to a regional or founding role. Register your interest and the team will follow up to build the right package with you.

What does sponsoring a school involve?

It supports one school's participation in the Hackathon and includes a weather station and electricity consumption data, so students work with their school's own real energy and weather data. A limited number of schools take part each round, with room to expand across the Caribbean over time.

Is there online payment on this site?

No. This is an expression-of-interest process. You register interest and the team follows up directly to work out scope, level and next steps. There is no payment portal.

Can we speak with someone before deciding?

Yes. Use the form and add a note about what you would like to discuss. A member of the team will reach out to help your organisation find the right fit.

Electrical Fundamentals for the Energy Transition, a session by Dr. Curtis Boodoo

Training and mentorship for the CZITT-UNICEF AI Energy and Climate Hackathon began on 3 November 2026, following the online launch on 29 October. Sessions run on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 19 November, and the recordings are published on the CZITT YouTube channel.

The opening session introduced students from Trinidad and Tobago and Canada to the programme and the skills they will develop in artificial intelligence, energy analysis and climate solutions.

Electricity from first principles

On 5 November, Dr. Curtis Boodoo of the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission and the University of Trinidad and Tobago presented Electrical Fundamentals for the Energy Transition. The session covered how electricity is generated, transmitted and distributed, how Trinidad and Tobago's electricity system operates, why peak demand increases emissions and energy costs, and practical ways schools and households can reduce energy consumption.

Watch and share

Each session has its own page on this site, with the recording and links to share it. Teams will present their work to a judging panel at the hackathon on 27 November 2026.
