Engineers from all over the world can engage with Grant Imahara through a variety of topics and a series of challenges that question and challenge innovation in the search for new ideas.
The exciting "Empowering Innovation Together" program consists of Spotlight Innovation™, Empowering Innovation Challenge™, and Innovation Hub™. Innovation Spotlight is a series of webisodes covering a wide range of topics, hosted by Grant Imahara as he visits engineers at the forefront of innovation and technology. The first webisode focuses on robotics, featuring Grant speaking with faculty and aspiring engineers at Carnegie Mellon University. To watch the video, visit mouser.com/empoweringinnovation.
The Robotics Empowering Innovation Challenge is the first in a series of challenges covering a variety of engineering topics. The Robotics Challenge is co-sponsored by Texas Instruments' Platinum Partner Program. Molex and Panasonic, Diamond Partners, have also joined as sponsors of the Robotics Challenge.
Mouser and Grant are asking the engineering community to submit a picture or video and share their robotic creations. This allows engineers worldwide to share and discover the newest and most innovative ideas. The engineering community will also help Grant decide who has the best engineering concept based on the ideas that receive the most votes. Each challenge offers engineers an opportunity to shine, along with the chance to win prizes along the way.
The Robotics Challenge includes exciting activities for engineers to share ideas, including a social media contest and a Twitter party. The first 200 participants will receive a "Letting My Genius Prevail™" T-shirt. Grant, familiar to many through the television series MythBusters, will select the Grand Prize winner. The three winners will receive STEAM cards and Mouser backpacks. The Grand Prize winner will also receive signed memorabilia from Grant.
Engineers looking to delve deeper into the subject of robotics will find great value in the Innovation Hub™. This feature of the show truly immerses you in technical engineering through articles, videos, and content that is specifically designed to inform and inspire the engineer. Stay tuned for future challenge topics that will be added to the Innovation Hub as the series progresses.
