What is ChemE Cube™?
Launched in 2020 by the RAPID Manufacturing Institute®, ChemE Cube is an annual student competition where undergraduate university teams design, build, and demonstrate a 1 cubic foot plant to produce a chemistry defined in the annual problem statement (which changes each year).
Teams compete on cube performance via a head-to-head duel and promote their technology through a 3-minute ad, poster, and 20-minute 'shark tank' style pitch to a panel of mock investors.
