http://stevens.usc.edu/student_app_form.phpWHAT IS INNOVATION?
Innovation is the process of translating new ideas into tangible societal impact.
Innovation and Imagination go hand in hand. True innovation is taking an imaginative idea and turning it into something that changes our world. Changes the way we live and work and think, and impacts our lives in the most fundamental way. Student innovation at USC includes advancements in every discipline, from cinematic arts, music and social sciences, to information technology, engineering and life sciences. WHO SHOULD APPLY?
If you are a student innovator and have a research project you would like to present, we want to hear from you! (Teams are encouraged to apply.) Students may present work in a variety of ways, such as through poster/panels, art exhibits, and electronic media. We are eager to include innovations that exemplify the following:
• Innovation in ALL disciplines, including the arts, science and technology, medicine, etc.
• Potential for tangible benefit / impact to society (How could your work change our world?)
• High novelty (Has anyone done this before?)
• Presentations with visual interest and impact (engaging, high-touch demos, diagrams, etc.)
• Progress turning idea into a tangible product, service, or organizational model
• Enthusiasm of innovator (and/or team) to introduce their work to students and parents at USC!QUESTIONS? Contact Elisa Wiefel (213-821-6063, wiefel@usc.edu)Audiences: Everyone Is Invited
