Students pitch their solutions to a panel of judges by the end of the event. The top 3 teams will be awarded $150 each in prize money sponsored by Meridian Credit Union. The purpose of Innovation Hack is to promote out-of-the-box thinking, create unconventional yet effective and efficient paths to solving real world problems.
