Innovation Resources

Influence is a way we measure users' activities within the DSIC community. Students can build and gain influence points by completing project pages, connecting with others, voting and following projects and participating in learning challenges that help strengthen their project and the DSIC community. Influence points also help improve a student's probabilities for project success--both online in our competition and offline in the world.

While all Semi-Finalists are required to produce a Roadmap to Success to compete for the Final Round, we want all students to have the opportunity to create their own Roadmap. 

The Roadmap is a working document that will help teams creatively and succinctly convey the value of their project and its probability of success. Download a special version of the Guide to Creating Your Roadmap to Success below and get started today!
