LAST DAY TO REGISTER FOR THE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

CREATIVE KICK-START PROGRAM! <\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hey students! Are you interested in giving your idea, project, or invention a kick-start? Want to make that project a reality?<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Don’t miss out! Today, Oct 25, 2019, 11:59 PM (CT) is your LAST chance to submit your idea for the
\nCreative Kick-Start Program!<\/strong><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The program is designed so engineering students (undergraduate and graduate) may request funding to pay for prototyping and\/or finishing projects \u2013 using the services offered through ETC and the Library Creative Space<\/a>.  The Creative Kick-Start Program is a collaboration between The Engineering Library and the Engineering Technology Center<\/a> (ETC).<\/p>\n

There will be ten $500 awards!!<\/em> <\/strong>How exciting is that!?<\/p>\n

Since there will only be 10 awards, this is a competitive process! <\/p>\n

Briefly, any graduate or undergraduate engineering student may apply for a Kick-Start award. You come up with an idea which can be completed in roughly 3 months, find a faculty or staff sponsor, complete an online application form, attend an in-person workshop (approximately an hour), hand in a progress report, and present your project in April!<\/p>\n

There are a few requirements <\/a>which include (but aren\u2019t limited to) keeping receipts and a record of all expenses (a budget spreadsheet template will be be provided). A post-project survey of the Kick-Start program will also be required.<\/p>\n

There are a few restrictions<\/a>, one of which is you may not already be receiving funding for this project from any other source. There can only be one idea per submission and a student may only be the primary investigator on one Kick-Start per year.  Students may be co-investigators on more than one project.<\/p>\n

Check the Kick-Start webpage<\/a> for all the information you need – and get your proposal submitted TODAY!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The funds for this project are generously provided by the Engineering Technology Centers.<\/p>\n

Application Review Committee is Kari Kozak (Head, Lichtenberger Engineering Library),  Jeff Nock (Entrepreneur in Residence\/Lecturer, John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center), and Spencer Stumpf (Inventions Manager,  UI Research Foundation).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We look forward to seeing your projects and working with you to make them a reality!<\/strong><\/p>\n
