The Buckminster Fuller Challenge is an annual competition that seeks innovative solutions to global issues. Named after the visionary architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller, the challenge encourages participants to develop comprehensive, sustainable designs that address critical problems such as climate change, poverty, and resource depletion. The challenge emphasizes a holistic approach, requiring entrants to consider the interconnectedness of social, environmental, and economic factors. Winning projects receive funding and support to help bring their ideas to fruition, promoting the development of transformative solutions that align with Fuller's philosophy of "doing more with less."
