Rural Reimagined is pleased to recognize the winners of TN Tech’s Eagle Works Idea Challenge competition, Bailee Kauffman and Elijah Brooks! The Idea Challenge is a competition for all students and programs across campus to come up with an idea for a product, business, or service that is feasible and solves a problem. Competitors present a 90 second pitch of their idea to the judges and compete for $1,500 in prizes. About her win, Kauffman states, “I am beyond honored to have placed first in the Idea Challenge! This year, I innovated a safety necklace called the Phoenix that is linked to an app on your smart phone. The safety necklace mimics an ordinary necklace but has the potential to save one’s life!” Brooks states, “I chose to speak about how smart contracts can benefit small businesses, especially those in rural areas. I am very thankful to have placed in the challenge, and I plan to participate even more next semester!” Congratulations to both Bailee and Elijah. Wings up!
