Innovation Challenge

A fast-paced, high-impact day of creative problem-solving and collaboration, the Innovation Challenge brings together students from all majors and backgrounds to tackle real-world challenges with fresh thinking and entrepreneurial energy. In just one day, teams move from insight to idea, dreaming up innovative solutions and gaining hands-on experience in teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking.

You don’t need a business idea or technical background. All it takes is curiosity, creativity and a willingness to dive in. In small teams, students explore a challenge, generate ideas and propose their most promising solution while gaining skills, confidence and maybe even a new passion along the way.

Whether you're studying engineering, business, the arts or anything in between, the Innovation Challenge is your space to team up, think big and build bold solutions together.
