Your idea can WIN $100!
Put your creative problem-solving skills to the test at the Ideathon Competitions, hosted at the FSU Innovation Hub! Sponsored by the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship, this exciting competition is your chance to pitch innovative ideas and make an impact.
- Here’s how it works: Identify a problem—on or off campus—that you’re passionate about solving. Then, pitch your idea for a creative, impactful, and realistic solution. Your solution could take any form: a business idea, a physical invention, a service, a system, an app, or something completely unique!
It’s an open-floor forum where fresh ideas take center stage. Bring your big ideas and compete for a $100 prize! 6 different competitions will take place in Spring 2026, these will be held from Noon to 1 p.m. on Fridays in the Innovation Hub.
Students can work by themselves or in a team to present an innovative, impactful, and feasible solution to ANY existing problem. Solutions may include business ideas, physical inventions, services, systems, apps, etc.
