In a surprise twist, elementary school students decided the winners of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln's eighth annual Innovation Challenge, hosted by the Center for Entrepreneurship. Teams of students from six colleges across campus used entrepreneurial techniques and artificial intelligence tools to design products that help 10- to 12-year-olds take their vitamins without parental reminders.
The 33 competitors represented the Colleges of Business, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Journalism and Mass Communications and Hixon-Lied Fine and Performing Arts. They built child personas for feedback and developed paper prototypes to bring their concepts to life.
