The Lemelson-MIT Student Prize is an invention competition that celebrates the inventiveness of tested prototypes created by college students currently enrolled in U.S. undergraduate and graduate programs. All applicants must be actively enrolled full-time students in a U.S. college or university in the Spring 2016 term to be eligible. Students apply to the competition as either: An undergraduate team comprised of two or more students on an undergraduate-founded and lead team from the same school with one invention An individual graduate student with at least two inventions. Students must have a tested prototype of an invention that fits into one of four categories: "Cure it!" - for tech-based inventions that can improve healthcare and quality of life. "Drive it!" - for tech-based inventions that can improve transportation. "Eat it!" - for tech-based inventions that can improve food and agriculture. "Use it!" - for tech-based inventions that can improve consumer devices. ("Use it!" is for tangible consumer product inventions where the end user is a retail customer who would purchase the product for use in their daily life.) Graduate students should choose a primary invention from their portfolio and select the category that best fits this primary invention. For Undergrad teams, the person submitting the application should be one of the undergraduate co-founders/leaders.
