Tech to Protect Challenge
The City College of New York (CUNY) website reported that The Grove School of Engineering at CUNY is a regional co-sponsor and host of the New York City Tech to Protect Challenge, a national open innovation contest designed to help emergency responders—including EMS, firefighters, and law enforcement—meet their mission to serve and protect communities nationwide with new technology. The program is a federally-funded initiative led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and its Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Division. Participants will have access to resources—including researchers, scientists, and public safety experts—to kick-start their creativity and design their submissions. Up to $35,000 in cash prizes will be awarded at the New York event. The Challenge will take place Nov. 1-3 and is open to the public.
