<span style="font-size: medium;">The second innovative event is the KEEN Innovation Challenge sponsored by the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network and ONU. The challenge is held on a semester basis, with no two challenges being the same. Teams of three require at least one engineering student. The premise of the challenge is that each team exercise innovation and creativity in the impromptu challenges with a given set of materials.</span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Two resources that students can utilize on a daily basis are the Machine Shop and Tinker Lab located in the Biggs Engineering Building.
