Fall 2020 Winning Teams Announced!

After an energetic competition on January 13, 2021, our panel of judges announced the winners of the Fall 2020 Ambassador Pitch Competition, Express Yourself, a team from that took on the Flashy Fashion challenge and developed an LED mask that allows the user to easily change the expression (both shape and color) displayed on their mask!

Runners up included Flare, a team that also tackled the Flashy Fashion challenge and was voted as the team to have the Largest Market Share,

and Waterlux, the only team to make it to the finals with a solution for Pollution Solution and voted the team Most Likely to Succeed.
