Prototype Challenge Office Hour

Building off of their experience at the conference, participants can choose to continue on to the $10,000 Innovation Challenge. In this phase, student participants pair up to develop an innovation in one of the four challenge categories to help Reinvent Remote Learning in Maine.
In the spirit of the "Materialize" phase of design-thinking, team entries will be evaluated on how well they have researched, explored, and applied their conference skills to create a prototype of their product. The prototype can be in the form of an executive summary, slide deck, demo of the product, all three forms, or some other representation of the innovation! A winner will be selected in each of the challenge categories and each student on the team receives a $1,000 scholarship award from UMaine. Additionally, winning teams receive an invitation to further develop their projects over the summer through a special Incubator program through the CATES Center for Social Innovation.
