Hello,
This year the EIC committee is working to include students from a variety of disciplines in the challenge. With that interest in mind, I chose to send out the information to a variety of different fields that may have students interested in participating. Engineering students bring a completely different division of interests to the teams and are essential to the other students forming teams.
Teams from all academic disciplines come together to “define an environmental problem, design a solution, produce a prototype, and demonstrate the potential for impact.”EIC Flier attached to email
AND….we have $$$$ to help build prototypes! The application for the prototype funding opens mid-November and is due December 14.
Can we come tell your class about the EIC and the Prototype funding?
There are two upcoming opportunities for participants to meet one another and begin discussing ideas and forming teams:
Team Formation Night
Thursday Oct 30, 5:30-7:00 ~Food & Drinks~
(hold space for location – hopefully by Monday)
Show up! A great place to find a team or pitch an idea!
Team Formation Night & Panel of Past Participants ~Food & Drinks~
Wednesday, Nov 19, 5:30-7:30
(hold space for location – hopefully by Monday)
I hope to hear from you and find a time in the next two weeks to visit your class.
Regards,
Pamela Tufts and the EIC committee
