To All CSULB Students,

The next Innovation Challenge Kick-off Meeting will be held on Thursday October 1, from 2-3 pm at the Niggli Conference Center, ECS-312, on the CSULB campus.

While it is not required that you attend a kick-off meeting in order to enter the challenge, if you do attend you’ll have an opportunity to talk with other students, get some great advice from past winners, and hear the answers to a variety of important questions. Hope to see you there!

If you’ve got an idea for the challenge, want to be matched to a team, or already have a team, we encourage you to let us know. You can do that by contacting us at [email protected], visiting the website at csulb.edu/innovationchallenge.edu, or stopping by one of the Innovation Team Members’ office hours. They are as follows:

It’s been said that creativity is thinking up new things, and innovation is doing new things. The Innovation Challenge Team is very excited to see the creativity and innovation that will come from this year’s competition.

Go Beach!
