24 Hour Imagination Quest at New Haven

Calling All Undergraduate Majors!!!
24 Hour

The imagination quest is a two day event (no, not a full 24 hours!) that involves presenting brand new ideas to the marketplace. It is a combination of The Amazing Race, Shark Tank, The Apprentice, and Fear Factor. The competition brings universities together, taking individual talent and school location to create working teams. The teams are constantly on the move or feverishly working on presentations and prototypes, all leading up to the big final presentation on Sunday.

If you are a leader, tech-savvy, have a competitive spirit, artistic, good communicator, or an innovative thinker who has what it takes to compete in a fast-paced, diverse team, this event is for you!

The University of New Haven is hosting the 24 Hr Imagination Quest on Saturday, April 6 to Sunday, April 7, 2019.
