Spring Wu-Invent student application

How can you tackle big issues such as species conservation and human rights? Make your mark on the world during Invent for the Planet. Focus on developing products to make the world a better place for the inventors of tomorrow. Wu-Invent is a design competition hosted by Shocker Startup. It aims to motivate student innovators, entrepreneurs and creative thinkers to come together, apply design thinking, and find solutions to difficult and wide ranging problems.

Students will form teams of three to five and work on designing and prototyping a solution for a wide range of environmental issues. Mentors will be available and the teams will present their solutions to judges for a chance to win more than $500 worth in prizes.

The event is free of charge for applicants and participants. The competition will be held Friday, Feb. 16-Sunday, Feb. 18, at WSU's Experiential Engineering Building lobby. Breakfast, dinner and refreshments will be provided to participants. Specific details on the schedule and competition will be communicated closer to the event date.
