Are you ready to make a meaningful impact in STEM? Consider joining Columbus State’s Community College Innovation Challenge (CCIC) team following the success of our top achievers in 2022. In collaboration with the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), CCIC provides an exciting opportunity to address real-world challenges using your STEM skills.

As a participant, you'll benefit from an Innovation Boot Camp that refines your communication and entrepreneurial abilities through professional development, mentoring, and coaching. Engage in groundbreaking projects for a chance to compete for cash awards, shaping the future while making a tangible difference in the world. Gain national recognition by showcasing your innovative solutions in a poster session, connecting with STEM leaders, and engaging with Congressional stakeholders. Cap it off with a pitch presentation in front of industry professionals and entrepreneurial experts, vying for the coveted first, second, and third-place titles. It's your chance to leave a lasting mark in the world of STEM.

To learn more about the CCIC, visit the CCIC website. To be a part of the CCIC team, complete this registration. Kaylor Sines (ksines2@cscc.edu) is the team mentor.
