@123msn We are attempting to organize either a forum or competition where contestants are able to present their research and in turn hear engaging new ideas from other participants. We’re currently reaching out to local institutions along the East coast for sponsorship and have received interest by some! We’ll keep you updated!
@yungcurrybowl sounds very cool!
@likelaughter Thank you so much for your understanding and support. There is absolutely no excuse for what MIT Inspire team did. As others mentioned, not only we put countless hours into this project, our mentors did as well.
So I guess its completely canceled then with no hope of having an alternative? I was half-wishing something happens to somehow get this going again but I guess not
Does anyone know if MIT Inspire will continue next year? I really want to participate and already have research topics in mind, and would like to start researching in a month. If not, are there any other competitions that are similar?
Although MIT may not have an alternative, we are very close to getting a sponsor for our alternate forum. Do not give up just yet!
Hey guys! My partner and I contacted The Tech (student newspaper at MIT) and they interviewed us about the whole situation. They just published an article about it. Definitely read it, it reveals quite a few things:
@yungcurrybowl thank you for the link !! This really clears things up.
They have released an email! The competition is back up and winners will be released by October 2018!
We’re very glad that the competition is back up, and we’re still hoping to have a forum over the summer where we can discuss our research and listen to some speakers. We’re trying to ask INSPIRE if they can direct interested participants to us. Please spread the word!!!
@bsmdstudent101 Yay! Will there be another competition for the 2018-2018 school year?
They released emails for semi-finalists
is it going on during 2018-2019 school yr
Have finalists been announced? The website said we would hear by the end of August.
I didn’t get any announcement yet
They’re behind again probably…
Has the list of finalists been released yet?
Has anyone heard about or looked into the Stemanities Research Competition? Just curious if anyone else here is considering entering. I read about it on the MIT page when I was looking to see if the competition would continue this year.
@sophia792, yes! I looked it up after I saw you mention it. I will definitely consider entering.
