The Call for Proposals seeks applicants who wish to propose an installation for the Sept. 15-17 prototyping festival. Approximately 12 projects will be selected to receive up to $2,000 to fund each approved prototyping concept.
The Call for Proposals focuses on the prototyping festival goals, areas of focus, and the 2016 Theme: Health and the Built Environment.
