2022 10th Annual DifferenceMaker $50K Idea Challenge

Come cheer on our UMass Lowell DifferenceMaker student teams at the 2022 10th Annual $50K Idea Challenge Finals, on Wednesday, April 13 from 5 to 8:30 p.m. in Moloney Hall, University Crossing.

The field has been narrowed from about 60 competitive applications to just 10 DifferenceMaker teams who will pitch their ventures to a panel of alumni judges who will then award $50,000 in prize money to the teams.

The evening will begin with poster presentations by the finalist teams, as well as student teams who participated in the Preliminary Pitch-Off. The finalist teams will then present a series of 5-minute rocket pitches to a panel of alumni judges for a chance to share in $50,000 in prizes and services.

Poster Reception 5 to 6 p.m.
Pitch Competition & Awards 6:15 to 8:30 p.m.

Come see these entrepreneurial UMass student teams compete and share their solutions to problems that matter. This event is for students, alumni, faculty, staff, community members and entrepreneurs.
