2015 InVenture Prize


The 2015 InVenture Prize is looking for Georgia Tech students (or recent graduates) with interesting ideas for possible inventions. It normally attracts engineers, but I believe science students are every bit as innovative. The InVenture Prize Competition is now the largest college invention competition in the nation, and often students are intimidated. They forget that our finalists and winners often started as a simple idea in somebody’s dorm room.  In addition to their own ideas, these inventions may be derived from class projects, or even research where the original idea was not derived from faculty or external funding, as students retain all intellectual property rights for their invention. We are asking your help to identify potential InVenture Prize contestants you may know and encourage them to sign-up for the InVenture Prize Competition at www.Inventureprize.gatech.edu . If these students have any questions, want any advice about developing their inventions, or are looking for additional team members to complement their skills, please encourage them to reach out to me (pete.ludovice@gatech.edu) or Chris Reaves (chris.reaves@gatech.edu) from the Center for Academic Enrichment. Feel free to share this message with your colleagues.

Your help is greatly appreciated in this matter,
