Food Systems Innovation Challenge

 Office of Innovation is hosting the third annual Food Systems Innovation Challenge Saturday, Nov. 16, 2024, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., at the Holmes Student Center in the Duke Ellington Ballroom. This challenge is a hackathon-like (non-coding) event open to teams of four to six (4-6) students ages 18 and older who are interested in solving issues focused on food systems sustainability. This year’s theme is logistics, and there will be cash prizes for the top three teams. Students can register as an individual and will be put on a team prior to the event. All majors and skillsets welcome! (In-person, free to attend). 

If you are a faculty or staff member interested in being a mentor or volunteering for the challenge, please reach out to innovation@niu.edu.
