Have you ever had an idea for an invention to make your life easier? Do you dream about opening up your own store/food truck/other business? Ever thought of an app that’s innovative and solves a problem that drives you crazy?

Can you talk about any of those things for 90 seconds?

Join us in the RUC Multipurpose room on Wednesday, Feb. 15 at 6 p.m. for the annual Eagle Works Idea Challenge! Pitch your idea to a panel of judges for a chance at a scholarship!

Students can compete alone or in teams, and will have 90 seconds to pitch their idea – no PowerPoint, no Q&A. Your idea doesn’t need to be fully thought out, but it should be feasible and solve a problem. Get creative and think big!

There will be two workshops on Feb. 1 (Business Model Canvas) & Feb. 8 (How to Give Your Pitch) at 5 p.m. in the iMakerpace to help prepare for the challenge as well as a pitch practice on Monday, Feb. 13.

Check out the Eagle Works website at https://www.tntech.edu/eagleworks/ for more information and to register!
