During Ideathon new or existing problems can be better tackled by using their new idea. Participants will present their ideas to the jury and fellow graduate students in UMBC.

This event will highlight your creative skills and the uniqueness of your idea, which can be social, environmental, IT technology, medical field related, etc. These ideas can be real or hypothetical. You create a three-minute presentation showcasing your idea and how unique it is. All the participants are eligible for UMBC prizes.

PowerPoint Roulette is a fun event that tests your ability to think on-the-spot and speak publicly! During this competition, you will present a PowerPoint on a random topic you are not prepared for, with slides you have never seen.
