From OUE Student Innovation site (https://oue.gatech.edu/student-innovation-georgia-tech): As part of the Center for Academic Enrichment, Student Innovation offers programming to introduce undergraduate students to the world of invention and entrepreneurship. This is accomplished by expanding the curricular and co-curricular activities available to undergraduate students in order to enhance their ability to develop and apply the innovation process to solve problems for their customers. One of those offerings is the InVenture Prize, a faculty-led Shark Tank-style competition for student innovators and entrepreneurs. This Emmy Award winning competition, now in its 11th year of existence, has provided a highly visible platform for our students to demonstrate their creativity and ingenuity on stage before a live audience which is broadcasted on television and streamed online to the world.
