Fall 2024 Bright Spark® Invention Challenge

Participation is free • Program is virtual from start-to-finish

Registration Deadline: September 27, 2024

Calling all inventors—we are excited to announce the Fall 2024 Bright Spark® Invention Challenge!

Through an invention, we are asking students to address temporary housing in the event of a crisis. Your solution can be: (1) a product, service, or technology assists people who need temporary housing or (2) a holistic model of service addressing the need for temporary housing.

When would this sort of invention be needed? Whether the crisis is personal, financial, environmental—or any of a host of different factors—situations are always occurring across the world where people find themselves in need of temporary housing. This can cause short and long-term physical, emotional, and psychological hurt. How can your invention help people recover from these situations?

For this challenge we are asking the question, “How Might We help people experiencing a crisis with temporary housing?”

• Register and claim your RSVP Ticket! You have the choice of participating within a group, or as an individual.

• Create a new service or product designed to solve an existing problem.

• Record a 90-second video pitch introducing what you have designed.
