A global collaboration between Middlesex University (MDX) in London -
www.mdx.ac.uk and Penn State.
The
MDX + PSU Innovation Challenge selected 16 Penn State students and 16 MDX students. These 32 students were formed into 8 teams , with two PSU students and two MDX students per team.
Each team defined a problem, need or pain in one of four categories, researched and defined a solution. The categories:
- green technology.
- in-the-home.
- social entrepreneurship.
- transportation.
Teams submitted a three minute video describing the problem and their solution.
Event available for viewing online.
Why: We want to make Penn State's Global Entrepreneurship Week a truly
global event!
Students will have the fun and meet the challenges of working in a geographically dispersed team, with different majors and different backgrounds to agree on a problem/need and define a compelling solution.
Grand prize: all members of the the top MDX+PSU Team get round-trip travel paid to the 2015 Summer Jam (entrepreneurship conference) in Croatia in the last week of August -
