The Fusion Studio for Entertainment and Engineering (FSEE), in collaboration with Orientation Programs, is pleased to announce the call for proposals for the Boiler Gold Rush 2026 Entertainment Challenge.

This initiative supports interdisciplinary innovation at the intersection of engineering and entertainment, offering $3,000 pilot seed grants for selected projects. Faculty are invited to develop and showcase interactive, performance-based, or technology-driven experiences that will be featured during Boiler Gold Rush 2026, engaging thousands of incoming Purdue students.

We would be grateful if you could help us spread the word by sharing this opportunity with any of your fellow colleagues that might be interested in this opportunity.
