The IDEAS Competition encourages teams to develop and implement projects that make a positive change in the world. Entries are judged on their innovation, feasibility, and community impact. The Competition is open to everyone, but at least one third of each team must be full-time MIT students.

Participants work in teams to develop designs, plans, strategies, materials and mechanisms that benefit communities, locally, nationally or internationally. Using more than $40,000 in cash awards, as well as additional development grants, the teams can take an effective step toward resolving pressing individual and community challenges. The IDEAS Competition highlights MIT’s support for student enterprise. It provides a chance for students to be creative, recognizes their ability to do important work for the public good, and provides an opportunity to have others recognize it as well.
