Phase 1
We were so excited by the creative ideas submitted from undergraduates and graduates across programs for Phase 1! The judges had a difficult time selecting our winners. Here are the ten winners of our $250 award for Phase 1, as well as the projects invited to continue on as runners-up. Multidisciplinary teams will be further developing these winning ideas for the final competition in April.
