2010 Theme: Change Your World

What is Change Your World?

Students have a genuine interest in preparing themselves to have a positive impact on their community, society and environment. They want to acquire the knowledge and skills that they can apply to creating positive change, including skills in design and visualization. Creativity, innovation, teamwork, and entrepreneurship are also “must have’s” for those students that will be our future change agents and leaders.

Here is your challenge:
You have the opportunity to identify a current challenge and tell us how your idea/product/invention would change our world – for the better! It might be something that makes a positive difference in the lives of individuals, in your neighborhood, in the world at large, or – even ‐ in space. It may save lives or make daily life easier. It may be the next best thing to clean our oceans, generate power, or sustain & steward our resources. It’s up to you. But you need to clearly state the design challenge you identify; then create a 30‐second animation that communicates your solution to meeting that challenge. Of course, if robotics comes into play – that’s great, but not a requirement.

  1. What can be done to "Change your world"?
  2. How can you do it?
  3. Why is it important?
