Join us for a two-phase Invent-a-Thon that consists of solving a problem with the most creative/ingenious/cool idea imaginable! The solution MUST be a new idea for a physical product.

Students will work in teams of four. Event organizers will assign the teams the day of the event, so students will not know who is on their team until they arrive. Teams will be constituted to maximize the diversity of perspectives (schools, gender, age, undergraduate/graduate, etc.). We will cap the competition at 20 teams (80 students maximum).

During phase I on Saturday, February 18, a top five will be selected. Phase II will be on Saturday, March 4, where the top five teams will pitch, and a winner will be selected. There is $10,000 in prize money to be distributed!
