On October 6, the Eagle Works Maker Challenge introduced 25 students to the Innovation & Entrepreneurship initiative. Students were divided into teams and challenged with: “If you were stranded on a deserted island, how would you either survive or escape it?” Using materials like PVC pipe, duct tape, Play-Doh, and coffee filters, the teams had one hour to design, create, and present a prototype. Students received giveaway items, food, t-shirts, and $50 scholarships for prize categories including “Most likely to be on Survivor” and “Most inspirational karaoke opportunity.” Rural Outreach Coordinator Andrea Kruszka says, “Eagle Works is for students across campus. We encourage interdisciplinary teams since that is the reality of life post-graduation.” The Maker Challenge kicks off an exciting year of Eagle Works activities! Join us October 26 at 5:00 PM in the iMakerspace to learn how you can win $10,000! For more information, visit: Eagle Works Innovation & Entrepreneurship
