About the Program

Join the nation’s foremost competition encouraging innovation, entrepreneurship, and creativity in students who are working on cutting-edge inventions at their colleges and universities nationwide. Outstanding inventions in STEM and other creative fields are judged by a panel of National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees, United States Patent and Trademark Office officials, and top AbbVie scientists – the most influential inventors and invention experts in the nation – for feedback, brainstorming, and encouragement on taking inventions to the next level of innovation.

In addition to networking with some of our nation’s foremost innovators, you’ll also compete for $100,000 in cash and prizes and represent your school in competition among the nation’s most creative and innovative universities.
