Serena Omo-Lamai and Charles Keppler invented FibreFree in the 2017 Invent@SU program. FibreFree traps synthetic microfibers in the laundry to prevent pollution.

The application deadline for the Summer 2018 invention accelerators has been extended to March 23. Applicants will be accepted on a rolling basis, so students that are interested should apply online as soon as possible at invent.syr.edu/apply.

In addition to a chance to win up to $5,000, participants receive:

  • a $1,000 stipend;
  • a $1,000 team budget for materials;
  • Guidance from expert consultants and evaluators;
  • access to laser cutters, 3D printers, a machine shop and pro machinists;
  • assistance with a provisional patent application; and
  • daily lunch, coffee and snacks.

Invent@SU, supported by Bill and Penny Allyn, follows a proven method of developing students’ abilities to innovate and communicate. Students learn about design, ideation and intellectual property, then build and refine their own invention with weekly feedback from alumni and industry leaders.

The program will take place May 14-June 22 at the Fisher Center in NYC and July 2-Aug. 10 on the SU campus.

For complete information, and to apply, visit invent.syr.edu.
