CELEBRATING THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF EUREKA!

EUREKA! is an annual interdisciplinary workshop experience open to RIT students who want to use their skills for social good.

EUREKA! is an annual event open to all RIT students who are passionate about using their skills to initiate social change. Each year, we select 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.

EUREKA! is challenging, fun, and win for everyone! It is a great way to learn more about the Rochester community, network, and make new friends.

Happening from October 24–26!
