<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">EPICS is a unique program in which teams of undergraduates are designing, building, and deploying real systems to solve engineering-based problems for local community service and education organizations. EPICS was founded at Purdue University in Fall 1995.</span>

The Purpose of EPICS is to offer Community services at the same time that they improve their Undergraduate students skills.
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">EPICS students gain long-term define-design-build-test-deploy-support experience, communication skills, experience on multidisciplinary teams, and leadership and project management skills. They gain an awareness of professional ethics, the role of the customer in engineering design, and the role that engineering can play in the community. Community organizations gain access to technology and expertise that would normally be prohibitively expensive, giving them the potential to improve their quality of service or to provide new services. In partnership with Purdue’s Discovery Park, the EPICS Entrepreneurship Initiative helps students and community partners explore entrepreneurship opportunities growing out of EPICS projects.</span>

Working on getting pictures since the videos are not able to be posted or i have not figured out how to get them posted. This seems to have a great positive impact on the U of M campus, it is still early in the Penn State version of this endeavor. The U of M has over 700 students in its MPowered Group as well as signing up new members each semester.

First you would have to contact Diego Calvo since he is the Co-Director this semester in charge of judging team as well as expansion of the idea of 1KP, they are interested in other schools teaming up with them like for example Penn State,
They need to see you have great Entrepreneurship team on campus and want to see you excited to expand the idea of Entrepreneurship.

Notes about how the even is accomplished.
The event last for one semester and they restart in the fall each year, they have trained student judges around 22 and they will judge pitches as they come in each week. Each student judge has a quota of 150 per week to watch and judge. From this each pitch will be judged 3 times before the finally. The summit is where the top 200 pitches come together for a large social gathering and from there the sponsors of 1KP will choose the winners for each of the categories.
