2018 Second SIC
Space Innovation Challenge is an interdisciplinary case competition created in the spirit of bringing together the brightest science, engineering, business, and policy minds across Carnegie Mellon University so as to solve a pressing issue faced by industry on the final frontier.
The case prompt for the SIC 2019 will go live on Friday, November 1st, and you'll have all one week to brainstorm and hack on a space-themed business problem for the weekend. The competition will commence on Friday, November 8th, with team presentations being made to a panel of industry experts on Saturday, November 9th.
Students from the Tepper School of Business, the Heinz College of Public Policy, the School of Computer Science, and the College of Engineering are all invited to join us in this competition. We encourage team formation and cross-collaboration across different schools on campus. Students may form teams of 4 on their own. Just as well, individual students interested in participating may register independently, and the STARS club will try to pair them with other interested CMU students.
Why should you attend?
1. Pitch to industry leaders and make high-profile professional contacts (including judge from Blue Origin!)
2. Expand your network with students from other CMU schools
3. Your idea might get funded by the companies in attendance!
4. Food and drinks on us...two days long.
