How to Apply
Tips
- You do not need to be an engineering student — Schneider explicitly welcomes students from business, physics, and other fields. Lead with the impact your idea creates, not just the technical details.
- The judging emphasis is on practical, real-world solutions. Ground your idea in a specific community need with clear data or evidence.
- Registration opened June 1, so do not wait — use the early weeks to research, find your teammate, and sharpen your concept before building out the full business case.
