Alaska companies, startups, nonprofit organizations, public agencies and UA faculty are sharing their challenges or problems with UA students that could make an amazing capstone project.
Visit the Alaska Community Challenge webpage to see if there is a project that interests you or your team. Last year, a UA student team of mechanical engineers worked with entrepreneur Ray Huot to develop Avy Pouch. They worked on the invention during their capstone project and won the 2018-2019 IDEAs award for Young Innovators.
