Student Innovation Showcase: Celebrate Ingenuity A gathering of college students & teams organized to address specifically defined global challenges! Students using a fast-paced ‘hackathon” methodology will be introduced to a global issue by subject matter experts. Students will choose a challenge to address, receive mentoring and feedback in generating an app showcase and integrated solutions, and present their app ideas to a set of judges for cash awards and recognition! After students work together brainstorming, planning, and prototyping an app showcase, they will create a presentation that they’ll pitch to a panel of judges during the showcase. The event concludes with the recognition of students and a celebration of all participants! So at the TiE U Hack@thon, you can do anything from design an app and showcase your ingenuity by making something uniquely creative based on a given theme of Sustainability Innovation and Business Innovation. Teams can consist of 2-4 members, and you have till 30-Oct at 9:30am EDT / 7pm IST to create something amazingly unique! Hackathons, like the TiE U Hack@thon, are a can’t-miss experience! You can learn something new, make something that the world has never seen before, and win some fantastic cash prizes! |
