About the Cornell Cup

The Cornell Cup – driving innovation

The Cornell Cup is a college-level design competition created to empower student teams to become the inventors of the newest innovative applications of the latest technology. It attracts students from the top 200 universities across the U.S.A. and Canada to develop engineering projects around core themes (Embeded systems for IOT, Robotics and Mechatronics, SOC design, Automotive etc) and sponsor partners can also introduce other complimentary themes.  Participation in the Cup gives students the opportunity to apply their knowledge using the latest technology and showcase their skills to sponsors—potentially resulting in employment / internship opportunities. PLUS, the chance to win a $10,000 cash prize and other awards.

The Cornell Cup is a proven platform for showcasing student talent by transforming their ideas into real products with actual results. It has a rich heritage of attracting the best engineering student talent and driving technological innovation.
