How big can teams be and how are they formed?
Teams must have 3-5 members; students are responsible for forming their own teams though our club may offer networking events to facilitate that. If you are looking for a team, you can use this Google document to make yourself available as well as reach out to potential teammates.

Are there other team eligibility requirements?
We believe that interdisciplinary teams with different perspectives, experiences, and skill sets create the best ideas. To that end, we require that each team be interdisciplinary and include at least one student that is from a different discipline and/or degree program than that of the rest of the team. For example, a team of all MBAs would not be eligible, whereas a team of 4 MBAs and 1 MPH would be eligible. A team can have all PhD students as long as at least one of those students comes from a different discipline.
