Once again, the finals of the Collegiate Inventors Competition takes place in Washington, D.C., during Global Entrepreneurship Week.
Introduced by the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1990, the competition has annually rewarded individuals or teams for their innovative work and scientific achievement. It encourages college students to be active in science, engineering, mathematics, technology, and creative invention.
The Collegiate Inventors Competition is divided into two categories--undergraduate and graduate. One undergraduate winner or team will receive $12,500, with second and third place winners receiving $10,000 and $7,500. The top graduate winner will receive $15,000, with second and third place winners receiving $12,500 and $10,000.
Winners will be announced at a special event on November 13 at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. The presenting sponsors of the 2012 Competition are the Abbott Fund, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
