Teams from the university will have their creativity and maker skills put to the test this weekend during Makerthon 5, happening at the Innevation Center.
The competition, held at the Makerspace within the center, challenges both university and high school teams to invent a new product based on a real-world challenge.
The teams are tasked with using the Makerspace's large variety of tools to develop, test, produce and present prototypes of their inventions to a panel of judges. The kicker - the teams only have 48 hours.
The winning team will win $2,000 and entry into a prototype-to-product accelerator, where members of the team will see their invention transformed into a market-ready product.
