Last weekend we kicked off football season, but now let’s kick off Creative Kick-Start! Creative Kick-Start is a program created by the Engineering Library and Engineering Technology Center that gives all engineering students a shot at some funding to bring their ideas to life. This year we will be awarding $750 to up to 10 projects. Ready to get started? Here’s the inside scoop:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Come up with an idea. We don’t have any specific parameters, so get creative! It doesn’t need to solve all the problems in the world (but you can do that if you want). If you want some inspiration visit the Creative Kick-Start homepage<\/a> where you can read about past winners. <\/li>\n
  2. Find a faculty or staff sponsor and have them sign off on your project. Try to find someone who has some experience or understanding in the type of project you’re taking on so you can get some guidance from them. <\/li>\n
  3. Fill out the application. Applications are due Friday, October 28.<\/li>\n
  4. Wait. We won’t make you wait too long. Winners are announced soon after the deadline.<\/li>\n
  5. Winners will pick up their Kick-Start RedBox and Funds. This box contains resources, contact information, and deadlines for the rest of the program.<\/li>\n
  6. Get to making! You’ll need to turn in progress reports January 27th and March 10th to show what you’ve been up to. <\/li>\n
  7. Make a poster highlighting what you have learned. <\/li>\n
  8. Present your project and poster at the College of Engineering Annual Research Open House in Early April 2023. It’s not a problem if your end product doesn’t match your proposal, the goal of this program is to get you to try<\/strong>. If you were able to bring your whole idea into being, that’s great! If not, that’s also great! Either way, you’ll be presenting what you learned at the Research Open House. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
