Important Criteria:
Team Composition, Diversity, and Resources: Teams should have at least 2 members, however, we highly encourage teams with multiple members that represent a diversity of backgrounds, expertise, perspectives, networks, and resources. Larger, multidisciplinary teams allow for expanded collaboration, brainstorming, and access to knowledge and skills that may not be available to smaller groups. We recognize the great value in drawing from a breadth of viewpoints, life experiences, disciplines, skillsets, and community connections to innovate solutions. If you have a smaller team, consider how you might engage with a broader community to augment your team's composition and resources.
Please note the following before you start:
- You need a team of at least two individuals to apply.
- At least one registered student must be included in the team. The team can include faculty or staff members, family members, as well as members of your community such as problem owners (the type of people who are facing the problem), representatives from local industries, nonprofits, local government representatives, etc.
- Once the application is completed, a link to complete the application will be made available on the "Thank You" page.
