Now in its seventh year, the Novel Tech Challenge has hosted over 80 student teams from Tulane Science & Engineering, Medicine, Business, Law, Social Innovation & Social Entrepreneurship, Fine Arts, Architecture, and Public Health. The teams develop solutions to common societal problems that impact human health, the environment, and education, among others.

Last fall, the Challenge started with 9 teams. Ultimately, 5 finalists were selected in January to continue in the Challenge and compete for over $15,000 in prizes on April 21st.
