Inventors Digest is hosting the national 2010 Collegiate Alt-Energy Challenge.
We’d like to ship colleges and universities 10 free posters announcing the event. High-resolution PDF versions also are available.
Simply provide your contact information and shipping address here.
We’ll do the rest. That’s it – no cost to you.
This offer is only for colleges and universities.
About the contest:
Who: All U.S. college and college-bound students are eligible.
What: 2010 Collegiate Alt-Energy Challenge – Saving Our World One Kilowatt at a Time. The contest will award cash and other prizes for the most innovative low-cost, alternative energy-related technology, product, solution or service.
Why: A quarter of the world’s population lives without any form of electricity. Lack of access to electricity or power contributes to poverty, malnutrition, disease and death. It’s a vicious cycle, and one that can be alleviated through innovation and creative use of low-cost technology.
When: Contest launches March 26, 2010
Where: Exploratorium | The museum of science, art and human perception at the Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco
How: Students will submit videos – 2-minute “elevator pitches” – through our Web 2.0 platform at EdisonNation.com, ensuring IP protection and preserving potential licensing opportunities. (Winners will be announced during National Inventors Month in August 2010. Winners must agree to have their videos posted on InventorsDigest.com.)
More details will be announced at NCIIA’s March Madness for the Mind event in San Francisco and at www.inventorsdigest.com. Contact Inventors Digest Editor Mike Drummond at 704.405.0712 or e-mail mike.drummond@inventorsdigest.com.

The Alternate Power Initiative, sponsored by the city of Whiting Indiana and British Petroleum, is looking for independent inventors interested in building vehicles powered by alternate energy sources to compete in a race in August 2010. We have invited all to compete but are particularly interested in independent American inventors. The purpose is not only to discover new sources of energy and means to store energy but also to give encouragement to inventors by the means of press coverage as well as a cash prize that will allow continued research. We believe that there are inventors across our great land, working in their garages and basements dreaming of an opportunity to publish their discoveries to the world. We want to recognize their efforts and encourage them to continue their work.
An advisory board of engineers and inventors has crafted a set of rules which we believe will stimulate the creative minds of our nation and throw down the gauntlet of challenge.
Our automotive companies are in trouble and in desperate need of the innovative thinking required to get them out of it. The problem is that instead of looking to the nation’s inventors, who are working independently, they are looking to engineers who will only offer more of the same old solutions that got them into trouble in the first place. According to Arthur Molella, Director of the Lamelson Center for the Study of Invention at the Smithsonian Institution, “An important distinction needs to be drawn between engineer and inventor; the former mainly solves technological problems, while the latter creates new things”.
We need new solutions to solve the energy crisis we face. America must promote its native talent, the home grown inventor. This competition is a venue where all can come and share their ideas.
We have thrown down the gauntlet are you up to the challenge?

Hey there, am just into the web looking for some information and came across your blog. I am engraved by the posts that you own on this blog. It denotes how good you conceive this issue. Bookmarked this page, will return for more. You, buddie, ROCK!!!
It’s definitely important to conserve energy no matter how small the amount – it all adds up at the end of the day
Every people need to learn every time. It is true but with this should remain some power imagining. If you want to scientist then your need more learn invention power.
We’d be out of resources before we know it. Imagine if every people in the world saved energy in their own little way…

If everyone would just try to be aware of the energy they use and cut down just a little, it would make such a huge difference.
