As many of you know (or may not know) Kenneth is going to school to become a Mechanical Engineer. He also has a profound love/obsession with rock climbing and his dream job is to one day work for Black Diamond designing climbing gear, or to open his own business. He is constantly dreaming of cams and carabiners for climbing (I'm not going to lie I think he dreams of climbing gear more than he dreams of me...).
Kenneth has several ideas he would like to try out but if he approaches a company then his ideas then belong to the company, but getting a patent is extremely expensive and you usually need to be sponsered by a company. At the U, however, they have a program called "Tech Titan" to help young inventors (and that's really all a mechanical engineer is) get their ideas patented. Kenneth applied and found out today that he is a finalist!! He has to present his idea more formally on March 28 and the grand prize is $5,000!!
Kenneth is going to start preparing for his presentation, so everyone cross their fingers and wish him luck! This is seriously the chance of a lifetime for him! Awesome job Kenny!
