PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas (September 28, 2023) —In the world of academia, fostering creativity and innovation is paramount, and the Panthers Invent competition has been at the forefront of achieving this goal. The Division of Research & Innovation and the Roy G. Perry College of Engineering , in collaboration with Texas A&M University System National Laboratories, hosted the Panthers Invent student competition from September 22 to 24, 2023, and it proved to be a remarkable success.

“Panthers Invent is an opportunity for students to showcase their talents and skills while engaging in multidisciplinary learning with mentors sponsored by Sandia National Laboratories. One of the many highlights is witnessing students come together within a 48-hour period to create and produce something amazing—something they didn’t know they were capable of before. They learned to believe in themselves and work through adversity,” said Seaborn Carter, Adjunct Professor and Student Services Coordinator in the College of Engineering at Prairie View A&M University.
