Student Innovators

Showcase and Competition

What do an autonomous underwater vehicle, a collaboratively written online Kutchi language dictionary, and a massive multi-player game played via cell phone all have in common? For one thing, they have the potential to dramatically change the way we live, work, and play. And for another, they are just some of the cutting-edge ideas USC students will present during the First Annual USC Student Innovator Showcase and Competition, to be held Thursday, Oct. 11 from 11 am-2 pm on Trousdale Parkway outside Bovard, during Trojan Parents Weekend 2007.

Presented by the USC Stevens Institute for Innovation, the university-wide USC Student Innovator Showcase and Competition will give parents and students a highly interactive glimpse into the imaginations of USC student innovators, and a sneak peak at tomorrow's world.
