Jackson School of Geosciences - Ending Destructive Wildfires

Who We Are

We are a group of student researchers supporting the UT Austin-led team, collaborating with international partners from the University of Southampton, the University of Edinburgh, Delft University of Technology, Clemson University, and the Texas A&M Forest Services. Together, we are competing in the XPRIZE Wildfire Competition, aiming to revolutionize wildfire management by developing cutting-edge technologies that can quickly find and stop wildfires before they become dangerous.

What We're Fundraising For

We are excited to be one of 29 teams selected from thousands to advance to the semi-final testing in October. We need your help to fund our research, development, and testing to reach the final.

Donations will go directly towards:

• Building materials: Fiberglass and resin
• Drone parts: Batteries and guidance electronics
• Fire suppression equipment: Fire suppression balls for drop test
• Field testing expenses: Mileage for our team to travel to do field testing

Your Impact

Wildfires are no longer just a distant disaster but a growing threat to people everywhere. There’s no time to waste. Your donations will help us succeed and make the world safer. Together, we can transform these bold ideas into real solutions that protect communities, wildlife, and our planet. This is how we fight back against wildfires, and it starts with you.
