Inventathon
Inventathon is an interdisciplinary competition where teams of 3-5 participants work to create an invention that encompasses a given theme. Each team can choose to develop a conceptual program, product prototype, or business model. After 24 hours, teams will present their project to a panel of judges from various industries, mirroring a Dragon's Den style pitch. The highest ranked 5 teams will qualify to finals round, where they will compete to win the competition. Inventathon will allow for students to develop practical and applicable skills involving innovation and problem solving, while being provided with the opportunity to establish connections with like-minded peers and professionals in the industry.
