Challenge Pitch Day | August 24
Innov8x Challenges are rapid fire challenges in which students explore problems, identify beneficiaries – people who would benefit when the problem is solved, and attempt to solve the problems. Promising projects advance to our Innov8x Studio and/or course.
This challenge brings together Mines students, faculty, and world-class energy companies. These industry innovators have submitted interesting problems for you to tackle.
Please attend our Innov8x GEFI Challenge Pitch Day on Wednesday, August 24, from 4:00 – 6:00 pm. The pitch day is when teams are formed around challenges. Teams will present their solutions on September 8th from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm, and the winners will be decided.
