Dear University of Washington students,

Do you have a Big Idea? Come and learn about Amazon Catalyst! 

Amazon Catalyst is a new a program supported by Amazon.com, CoMotion and the Office of Research to fund bold, disruptive, solution-focused projects proposed by members of the UW community.  Grants will be awarded for projects that take place over a period of several months to up to two years, and will range from $10,000 to $100,000 each (yes, you read that right – we’re awarding up to $100,000 per project).  All you need is an idea for how to solve a big problem in the world, and the passion to make it a reality.  UW students, faculty and staff from *all* disciplines are encouraged to apply.

Want to learn more?  We will be hosting two information sessions for students who wish to learn about this exciting funding opportunity:

Thursday, January 14, 5:00-6:30 p.m.
CoMotion MakerSpace, Fluke Hall, Room 215

Tuesday, January 19, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Electrical Engineering Building, Room 303

After a quick introduction and Q&A, you’ll have the opportunity to chat with other students and Catalyst representatives. Food and refreshments will be provided.
