The challenge was issued: Create the coolest, most creative, and original pumpkin design that you can think of. Wentworth Institute of Technology students delivered. 

Hosted by Accelerate, Wentworth’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center, the Pumpkin Innovation Challenge gave students four days, and the use of Accelerate’s space, materials, and tools, to scare up their pumpkin designs. No more than four people were allowed to a team and each group had to have at least two academic majors represented.  

The results were displayed in the Center for Engineering, Innovation and Sciences (CEIS). Highlights can be viewed in the video below.
