Celebrating 10 Years of Innovation: Preparing World-Ready Graduates

For a decade, the Koch Innovation Challenge has been the cornerstone of our mission to foster an entrepreneurial mindset. In this high-stakes competition, multidisciplinary teams of first-year students—representing engineering, art and design, business, and more—collaborate to invent the products and technologies of tomorrow.

As we mark our 10th anniversary, we continue to empower students to solve real-world problems through teamwork and creativity. The overall winning team will represent our university on the national stage at a premier collegiate entrepreneurs' conference.
