YOUR MISSION: Propose an Experiment Using GE Technology!

Thu, 21 Apr 2016 14:19:58 -0400

GE has launched a global open innovation challenge Unimpossible Missions: The University Edition aimed at students who want to make a difference in the world to advance science, push the boundaries of human knowledge and do things that others never thought possible!

GE is committed to solving the world’s problems – no matter how challenging they might seem! And we’re offering three internships at one of our Global Research Centers and a scholarship to the most ambitious student who shares our goal.

Every day at GE, we do things that supposedly can’t be done. By taking the smartest minds and giving them access to the most cutting-edge technology available, we’re solving the world’s toughest problems. In other words we take the impossible, and make it unimpossible.

Now it’s your turn! Using your intelligence, knowhow, and a toolkit of GE technology, we want you to select a common expression or idiom—and then describe an experiment that disproves it. Up to three students will be selected as Competition winners. Up to two second place winners will be awarded a paid internship at one of GE’s Global Research Centers (GRC)... and up to one grand prize winner will additionally receive a Scholarship of up to $100,000 USD and a trip to GE’s New York GRC to see their idea filmed as one of the next Unimpossible Missions.

DEADLINE: Submissions due by JUNE 14, 2016.

Good luck!
