Momentum III with Eureka!
Momentum III: In partnership with EUREKA!, momentum III is an annual event open to all RIT students who are passionate about using their skills to initiate social change. Students will work alongside a community organization that has a challenge or opportunity that could benefit from our help with a fresh perspective or approach. In a 48-hour timeframe, multi-level and interdisciplinary teams collaborate with stakeholders of the community organization to propose solutions following the project prompt. The event concludes with team presentations to a panel of experts who select one proposal to go forward toward implementation.
