Three weeks. Real problems from real organizations. Real money on the table. Pick your role below — registration takes about a minute.
Open to any student at any Colorado college or university — you don’t need a team, an idea, or a business background. Bring your own idea, or take on a partner’s challenge and compete for their cash bounty. Teams form at the in-person Kickoff on Oct 20 at Colorado School of Mines, and you’ll leave that night with your track chosen.
Partners define the challenge, fund the bounty, and judge the result. Register here to start the conversation — alignment runs through August and September, and partner spots are limited so that every challenge gets at least two competing teams.
Mentors are matched to teams by vertical and work alongside them through the sprint — mostly asynchronously, answering questions and pressure-testing thinking on the team’s project card. We’ll run a short online mentor orientation before the sprint starts so you know exactly how it works.
Both in-person days are hosted at the Colorado School of Mines. Everything in between runs online.
