Golden Knights Rise – Day 1 Challenge

From: Clarkson Ignite

Here we go! As announced yesterday, the first of seven campus activities in the Golden Knights Rise Innovation Challenge starts NOW! You’ll have until 7am tomorrow, Tuesday, 2/16, to submit your project on Flipgrid.

Today’s challenge? Use easily available resources to creatively build the letters CU. The idea here is to get creative and show off some school spirit. Materials may be found in your immediate living quarters, ordered and delivered safely, or outdoors (remain masked and distanced). Submissions will be judged on creativity! 

Submitting: Go to flipgrid.com/goldenknightsrise and submit your video for the CU Logo Challenge

General FAQ’s:

How it works: Each day at 8:00am we will issue a new student challenge activity that is to be completed using only items found in rooms/suites/etc or what can be ordered and delivered to campus safely, if desired. Participating students will submit Flipgrid videos of 30 seconds or less by 7am the following day. Our judges will then have from 8:00am-11:30am to choose their favorite and email their pick to ignite@clarkson.edu – we’ll announce the winners at noon!

Prizes: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will be awarded each day and will be based on creativity as determined by faculty and staff judges. The best part – you pick your prize from a selection of awesome items in the “Prize Catalog” and we’ll order it just for you! This will be the same for the grand prize – but the items will carry greater value! 

Team Composition: It’s quarantine – so you can either compete individually OR you can pick one teammate to compete with – this person MUST be part of your immediate family unit (i.e. roommate/suitemate) and MUST remain the same for any challenge you participate in. Anyone breaking the rules of Team Composition will be disqualified. Prizes will be issued to each person in teams of two. This competition is open to ALL students – on campus, off-campus, undergraduate students, graduate students, in Potsdam, or elsewhere – #LetsCURise!
