Raymond Ideas Challenge Rewards ‘Big Ideas’
This year’s 14th annual Raymond Ideas Challenge featured the top 40 “big ideas” from more than 100 applications. Students from across campus and varying majors were asked to explain “What is your big idea?” through both a written proposal and a video pitch. The top 40 ideas were presented live to judges with the selected winners honored at an awards reception.
In addition to the live pitches, the top 40 ideas also participated in an online video pitch competition hosted by Aggie-owned web platform qukku.com. The top three winners were selected based on the number of votes they received by the general public.
The Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship (CNVE) at Mays Business School hosted the May 6 event, which is held annually on Reading Day so that Texas A&M students of all majors and classifications can participate. Students were able to enter the contest individually or in teams.
