Any currently enrolled student at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi is welcome to apply for Invent for the Planet, from freshmen through doctoral students. You do not have to be an engineering student. In fact, we encourage students from all across the university to apply. Well-rounded teams come up with unique and creative solutions to problems.

Invent for the Planet will be held in more than 40 universities across the globe simultaneously. Each group will start at 4 p.m. local time on Friday, Feb. 14. New groups will join the race to innovation as time travels across the world. Student teams will work on provided design challenges in local teams and will be encouraged to connect with teams across the globe as they come online. Each team develops a video and presents a prototype to a panel of judges. Three teams are selected for first, second, and third place cash prizes ranging from $1,000-$500

We will gather interested students, seed the event with industry-provided needs which is beneficial to us all. Have them solve the problem and create prototypes in 48 hours.

The end goal is to provide students the opportunity to acquire skills essential to becoming successful innovation leaders and support them in founding startup companies.
