I3 Day 2022 Competition
The University of Charleston’s annual I3 (ideas, Innovation, Inspiration) Day will wind up its competition with five finalists presenting their entries in a live event held in UC’s Innovation Center.
Finalists are the first-place winners in the student categories from the first round of the showcase in the following categories: Case Study, Product/Service, Work of Art or Performance, and Research. The Research category had a first-place tie, so there will be two entries in that category.
2022 UC i3 Finalists
Joel Braswell, “The Importance of Portfolio Diversification” – Case Study Winner
Eli Hughes, “E’s Everlasting Tees” – Product or Service Winner
Kaylee Nott, “Fabricating the Future: A Stitch at a Time” – Work of Art or Performance Winner
Logan Bossert, “Analysis of the Charge Transfer from Aromatic Compounds to Uranyl (VI) Using UV-Vis and Fluorescence Spectroscopies” – Research Winner (Tie)
Colton Webb, “Mindfulness in Sport” – Research Winner (Tie)
Presentations will take place on Monday, April 4, at 1:00 pm. Community judges will be on hand to rate the presentations (there will also be a few judges who will review the entries virtually), and the winner will be announced during the event.
The Grand Champion will win $2,000 and the 1st Runner Up will win $1,000.
The public is invited to attend, and attendees are asked to wear a mask while in the Innovation Center.
