Host your city’s round
on your campus
A one-day innovation event your department can put its name to, with none of the running around. Your college gives the hall and the students; we bring registration, the scoring, the leaderboard and the prize money — and your faculty judge the ideas.
Written to be easy to take to a Dean or an HOD: a short note, a date, and we do the rest.
- We run it end to end — you give the hall and the students
- Your faculty sit on the jury and pick the top three
- Your winners carry your college to the National Summit
