Idea to Impact
Make an Impact.
Your project is just the beginning…
Across campus, the energy and innovation is electric. In challenges like the Triangle Game Jam, Make-A-Thon, Hack NC State, Data Fest and the N.C. PSI Hackathon, brilliant ideas are born every semester. You spend a weekend building, coding and creating something incredible.
But after that weekend, what happens?
What if your brilliant prototype, game-changing data model or sustainable solution could become more than a weekend win.
From project to lasting impact
The Social and Sustainable Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SSIE) program is the key for the Wolfpack’s most driven creators. This program exists to help you take the spark from these weekends and fuel it into a real-world venture, product or career path.
