All six teams that earned $10,000 each at engineering's annual pitch contest developed creative solutions to challenges ranging from making rock climbing safer to providing spinal cord injury patients with increased mobility.
The winners of the Norman Esch Entrepreneurship Awards for Capstone Design contest were narrowed down from 10 teams of senior-year students who took three minutes each to explain their projects to a panel of judges in the remote competition live-streamed on YouTube.
One of those projects, a device to allow people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) to be more mobile, earned $10,000 in the pitch competition along with $3,000 as the winner of the Sedra People’s Choice Award. [full story]
