What is a Neat Idea?

A Neat Idea is any practical idea that can change the world for the better; it can be a new product, process or service, or simply a new application of existing technology.

We expect a neat idea to be innovative in some way, but not necessarily radical. (A new approach to implementing a standard computer program would fit if it created new benefits.) Exhibits can be a booth, poster board display, model/prototype, computer display or any combination thereof.

Purpose of Neat Ideas Exhibition:

To provide participants an opportunity to showcase their Neat Ideas.
