UNIVERSITY PROJECTS

I co-invented the concept of Brain Games for Southwestern Adventist University.

This recruiting concept focuses on the top science, mathematics and engineering students from all over the U.S. In an effort to focus on quality rather than quantity, the event initially extended invitations to only the top students from each participating school.

The first Brain Games took place in 2003 and it has grown larger each year. The event topics range from mechanics, robotics, astronomy and chemistry to history and biology. Numerous other departments, such as nursing and history, are now represented and modeled to participants.
