Speaking Engagements
Motivate
High School Students to Innovate: Between September 2010 and January 2011, your
school can schedule a free speaking engagement with USF outside
intellectual property counsel Anton Hopen (PDF
flyer). The message to students includes video, music, and images
that inextricably connect the technology around them with opportunities
only available through continued education. Attendees will be
encouraged to create solutions to problems around them and enter them
into the USF competition.
Tampa Bay area high school students are invited to compete for a $1,000
cash prize for the student and another $1,000 for their own school. The
University of South Florida’s Third Annual Young Innovator Competition
seeks the most innovative and creative inventions from students in the
Tampa Bay area.
Only a limited number of presentation dates are available. Please RSVP
with Kari McDermott at (813) 925-8505 to book your school’s free one
hour presentation on innovation.
