South Coast Innovation Challenge
The inaugural South Coast Innovation Challenge provides Southwestern students teams the opportunity to collaborate on innovative solutions to societal problems and needs both large and small. Our intent with this contest is to foster a spirit of creativity and invention while encouraging students to develop and apply their entrepreneurial skills. Our contest is a semi-final competition for the statewide InventOR competition, and the two best inventions we find this year will go on to the next round of InventOR competition against teams from 17 other Oregon colleges and universities.
