COVID-19 Design Challenge

The Columbia Community is coming together to address challenges posed by COVID-19. We invite students, postdocs, faculty, and staff from all schools to participate in this design challenge. The goal of the challenge is to produce a viable design concept (could include a rough prototype, if possible) to win continued support toward the development of an interdisciplinary technology-driven solution that could be used to support the COVID-19 response effort. These design-concepts can be medically-focused or intended to facilitate life in the ‘new normal’ we are experiencing during this ongoing pandemic.
