Innovation X is a 24 hour design competition where students are presented with a themed challenge where they search for and create a solution. Students are able to use the resources at the JMU X-labs which include but are not limited to: laser cutting, vinyl cutting, wood working machines etc.. At the end of the event a panel of judges, built of business professionals, evaluate projects and award prizes. This event allows people to practice the design-thinking process, get hands-on experience with prototyping, and meet current professionals in various fields.
