2026 Something from Nothing Innovation Challenge
On February 10 from 6-9 p.m., 11 teams competed in the eHIVE's Annual Something from Nothing Challenge! They were tasked with turning the surprise challenge item (POPSICLE STICKS) into something of value, creating a prototype and video pitch of their innovation in only 3 hours. We are excited to announce this year's finalists, highlighted in the videos below, are still in the running for our awards and fan favorite vote! Awards are determined by a panel of judges but the fan favorite vote, valued at $300 is entirely decided by popular vote.
Popular vote ends Thursday, February 26 at 11:59 p.m. and all winners will be announced on Friday, February 27. Be sure to cast your vote before the deadline to help us determine this year's winners!
