Mystery Object 2010
This year's mystery object: WATER BOTTLE
About the Innovator’s Challenge
Your challenge is to create as much 'value' as possible using an assigned everyday object unveiled at the Entrepreneurs Week Opening Ceremony on Friday 6 August 3pm in the Elizabeth Murdoch A.
Entrepreneurship is all about leveraging resources and taking action with the goal of creating value. In the Innovators Challenge, 'value' can be measured on any scale, such as economic, social, aesthetic or something else. Your ideas must actually be implemented during the week to qualify for prizes.
Students must submit a video of their endeavours prior to 9am on Friday 13 August. The top 10 videos will be shown and judged at the Entrepreneurs Week Closing Ceremony, held at 5:30pm Friday 13 August in the Physiotherapy Theatre, 200 Berkeley St, University of Mebourne. The prizes will also be awarded at this event.
