The Challenge
The Graduate Student Organizing Committee at Johns Hopkins Center for Bioengineering Innovation & Design (CBID) has invited teams to compete in a five-day, student-run, entirely online design challenge. Teams, consisting of university students, faculty, and affiliates all around the world, have been challenged to develop innovative solutions that have the potential for timely impact in the fight against COVID-19.
​
Each team has selected to work in one of three challenge areas and has access to lectures and Q&A sessions with experts on the disease as well as the design process. Teams are joined by Innovation Mentors who help them follow an effective design process and develop scalable solutions.
Judges are experienced experts and health care solution developers who provide guidance on resources and connections to further develop the top ideas. Teams presenting the best ideas will be invited to work with CBID to secure resources and contacts to further develop and implement their concept.
