NJIT Innovation Day, an invention-packed showcase of cutting-edge, student-led research, design and development across programs and disciplines, will take place Monday, April 8, at the Campus Center. Around 70 student projects – from autonomous lawn care equipment, to lightweight solar arrays for solar vehicles, to a tornado water filtration bottle, to a platform that provides visual feedback on human balance control – will be on display.
