Student inventors prepare for Brainstorm competition

Inspired student inventors are making final adjustments to their entries for the 2000 “Brainstorm: Schoofs Prize for Creativity” sponsored by the College of Engineering.

Now in its sixth year and open to all undergraduates, the contest awards cash prizes to those whose ideas are judged most creative, novel, innovative, patentable and likely to succeed in the marketplace.

Winners will be announced on Edison Day, Friday, Feb. 11. Edison Day is the College of Engineering’s annual celebration of Thomas Edison’s birthday. Students will present their work in 1610 Engineering Hall. Projects will be on display in the Engineering Hall lobby throughout the day.
