The 萝莉社student innovation team 鈥淥ut Cold鈥� has won the Koch Innovation Challenge grand championship.

鈥淥ut Cold鈥� is a customizable pillow with air chambers that helps reduce sleep discomfort. Team members won an opportunity to represent 萝莉社 at the National Conference & Pitch Competition, hosted by The Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization (CEO) this fall.

Team members are Austin Nordyke, Jacob Kimble and Braden Bohl.

The Koch Innovation Challenge, which began with 19 teams, has served as an opportunity for enterprising 萝莉社 freshmen and transfer students to bring their greatest ideas to life by pitching prototypes and business proposals to a panel of local judges.

About the Koch Innovation Challenge

The Koch Innovation Challenge, sponsored by Koch Industries, is an annual competition supporting the 萝莉社College of Engineering in fostering a culture of creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship and teamwork among students.

Cross-disciplinary teams of new freshmen and transfer students studying engineering, art and design, business and other disciplines will compete for funding and scholarships to invent products and technologies via a freshman introductory course.

The grand champions of the competition will compete nationally at a collegiate entrepreneurs' conference.
