Each participating university organizes a local Invent for the Planet weekend which follows our Aggies Invent (https://engineering.tamu.edu/student-life/aggies-invent/index.html) format — teams are formed based on similar interests in a need statement. The teams research the topic, build a simple prototype, and on the final day, put together a video and present their solutions to a panel of judges. Three teams from each local event are selected for first, second and third place prizes, with the opportunity to go onto the second round and compete for the world title.Interested in joining?

Consent Cupcakes is a fun and interactive tabling event where students can enjoy free cupcakes — with a catch! To receive a cupcake, participants must practice asking for consent. This engaging activity highlights the importance of respecting boundaries and reinforces the value of seeking and giving consent in everyday interactions. Stop by, grab a cupcake and learn how something as simple as asking can make a big difference.
