WHAT IS
INVENT OREGON?
Invent Oregon is an exciting competition for college and university students with ideas for inventions to address today’s most pressing problems.
Through the Invent Oregon program, students are empowered through mentorship and education to see themselves as innovators and receive up to $2,500 in development grants to take their invention from an idea to a working prototype.
At the Invent Oregon Finals Competition, students present their invention and compete for $30,000 in cash prizes.
