GEARS Presents: Our First Ever IDEATHON

Wed, 31 Mar 2021 15:14:07 -0400

We at Gears invite you to our first-of-a-kind event IDEATHON. How can new or existing problems can be tackled better by using your unique idea? IDEATHON is all about presenting your unique idea to the jury and fellow graduate students in UMBC. You can participate either individually or in a group of no more than 3 people.

This event will highlight your creative skills and uniqueness (idea can be social, environmental, IT technology, medical field related, etc. These ideas can be real or hypothetical). You must create a 3 min presentation showcasing your idea, and highlighting what makes it unique. We have around $1000 in prizes to be won. All the participants are eligible for a free UMBC logo Mask**. Also, the First 10 participants will get a chance to win UMBC merchandise T-shirts. **
