Inventables is a Chicago-based consulting firm that discovers materials and technologies for clients like Nike, Herman Miller, BMW, Boeing, and Black and Decker to help them achieve novel and profitable product innovations. Now, what if you were granted access to said materials and technologies to come up with awesome innovations of your own?

Students and recent grads are now invited to enter into the Inventables 2007 Student Competition that weighs their ability to come up with solid creative solutions. A $15 registration fee grants participants online access to 25 of Inventable's materials and technologies to apply to a fresh design concept that is directly inspired by at least one of the selections.

Winners will receive cash prizes and will also snag a feature in the Inventables quarterly magazine distributed to clients, as will also be announced on their website. Deadline for submissions is December 31st, 2007.
