Do you have a creative idea? Are you wondering if it can be turned into something that customers would buy/use? If so, this is for you: A competition to push you to think about an idea and bring it to life.
The Rist DifferenceMaker Prototyping Competition is more than just generating an idea; it’s about generating a product - whether it is a mechanical/electrical device, a software application, an integrated system, or something else - we want you to be creative and build, sketch, and further your idea. Over $5,000 will be awarded to student teams!
