Turnkey kits & checklists to build student microgrids under deadline pressure.
University students developing renewable energy microgrids for events struggle with time constraints from classes and a lack of energy sector mentors who take them seriously.
EventGridKit provides customizable checklists, BOMs, wiring diagrams, and timelines for event microgrids. Teams collaborate in real-time, track procurement, and get safety cert templates. Built for class-juggling students, it cuts setup time by 70%.
