INNOVATE: COVID-19 EDITION

The Center for Instructional Innovation is pleased to announce its annual Innovation Competition that will take place January–April, 2021.

The competition aims to provide innovative, creative, and entrepreneurial solutions for a significant challenge that affects our communities. Students are invited to create an innovative solution to a challenge currently facing communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. These solutions can be in the form of either a product or a service. 

We encourage students and faculty to develop interdisciplinary student groups from a range of disciplines for this competition. Together, we can foster creativity and disruptive innovation at Augusta University and offer incredible real-world solutions.

The competition will culminate in recorded presentations where the teams will showcase their innovative solutions, ideas, and technologies to a captivated audience and a panel of esteemed judges listed below. The contest submission deadline is for student teams to upload their recorded presentations by April 2, 2021 at 5pm EST.
