SwatTank, Swarthmore’s premier innovation competition, offers students the opportunity to “take a rough idea, product, or concept and develop it toward its next incarnation, ideation, or realization,” through workshops, coaching with Center for Innovation and Leadership (CIL) staff, and alumni mentorship.
