Five Missouri S&T students turned 24 hours into a winning idea during the Campus Impact Challenge Sept. 12-13, hosted by Kummer Student Programs.
The winning team includes Isha Chaudhari, a first-year student in computer science; Raksha Thiagarajan, a sophomore in information science and technology; Eleanor Schott, a sophomore in engineering management; Xavier Monnig, a sophomore in computer science; and Carmen Fort, a first-year student in civil engineering. Each student received $200 in scholarships.
The challenge invites undergraduate students to create meaningful change in just 24 hours. Participants are placed on teams and asked to identify a campus or community challenge, explore the barriers that contribute to the issue and then present solutions to a panel of judges.
