  <title><![CDATA[IPaT Thursday Think Tank: Convergence Innovation Competition (CIC) Showcase & Winner Announcement]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The finalist projects from the Convergence Innovation Competition (CIC) will be featured during this Thursday Think Tank. Student teams are encouraged to attend the session to learn more about projects and network with campus and industry partners.</p>

<p>About the Competition</p>

<p>The&nbsp;CIC&nbsp;encourages students to create innovative, viable products and experiences with the support of campus and industry resources and guidance. Convergence areas are determined by our campus, industry, and community partners. Winning entries will include a working end-to-end prototype which operates on converged services, media, networks, services, and platforms as well as a value proposition model.</p>

<p>As part of the competition, one team is awarded a Golden Ticket to participate in the&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://sites.gatech.edu/startuplaunch2021/">Create-X Startup Launch</a>&nbsp;</strong>program during the summer! Winning team members and runner up team members receive a prize for participating. The prizes vary each semester and typically include electronics and other unique items. The winning CIC teams go on to launch, commercialization, other competitions, as well as internship and job opportunities strengthened by their competition experience. CIC runs in the Fall and Spring semesters and is produced by&nbsp;<strong><a href="http://rnoc.gatech.edu/">GT-RNOC</a></strong>&nbsp;in the&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://research.gatech.edu/ipat">Institute for People and Technology (IPaT)</a></strong>.</p>
