Fall 2025 ProtoFund Showcase!
Come and see various student projects varying from lunar rovers to selective audio devices. There will be 15 teams presenting from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM on Monday Dec. 8th in the Labriola Atrium! Stop by and learn about all of their different projects, what went into them, and what their next steps are for them. More on these projects can be found below in the blog post that introduces the teams for this round of the ProtoFund. Check back in the spring to see what new teams and projects are selected.

“The InnoHub is by far my favorite building on campus. It is the heart of design and creativity of Colorado School of Mines, and fosters a sense of collaboration and curiosity among students. It is such a beautiful thing to have the opportunity to learn so many innovative hands-on skills.”
