The teams of students have been working hard to identify a business need in our area and how they would solve a problem for their customer and turn that into a viable business. Students have had the guidance of knowledgeable industry and academic mentors along the way.
While the competition is held on April 1, its no April Fools joke as cash prizes are on the line with the top prize $5,000! The public is invited to participate in this live-streamed event by voting for your favorite team while watching it on YouTube.
