UA Community Challenges for summer and fall students available

University of Alaska students complete hundreds of projects each year as part of degree programs that require capstone projects and student research. Alaskan companies, startups, nonprofit organizations, public agencies and UAx faculty, staff and students are invited to share with students your challenge or problem that you think would be an educational student project, valuable to have completed and help share the resources of the university across the state. Since students typically spend their fall and spring semesters working on projects, it is it important that challenges be available by the end of August so that students can contact sponsors for more information.

If you are faculty teaching a senior capstone class helping students find and plan a project, a student looking for a project, or if you have a project and want to share it in order to attract other students from other campuses to join your team, you can search the current projects or add your project!

Staff and researchers, if you have projects you think a student team completing a senior project or directed research project could help you with, please post it and we'll try to match it with a class or team across the UA system.

The Office of Intellectual Property and Commercialization as well as the Center ICE program expect to have resources to help student teams including innovation funding, mentoring and access to innovation tools to assist with problem blockbusting.
