IDEA SLAM a success – Voting Now Open!

Nine Teams pitched their IDEAS in the DMC’s InnovateAble IDEAS SLAM yesterday in Holland Center.

They’re vying for a chance to present at TEDxMonterey, and maybe even make their IDEAS a reality!

Three students also competed in the SLAM to win the TEDxMonterey student speaker spot.

We want you to be a part of the process – go online to watch videos of the presentations, and virtually vote for your favorite IDEAS! See voting instructions here.

Help us build a culture of Innovation at MIIS – let’s be the change together!
