Fall 2024 Bright Spark® Invention Challenge
Participation is free • Program is virtual from start-to-finish
Registration Deadline: September 24, 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?”
