Propose a means to integrate technology and electronics into (smart)windows:

1. What is your idea to incorporate technology and or electronics into standard window formats?

2. What functionalities does your technology offer and how does it provide an advantage over standard/manual windows?

3. What consumer wants, needs, and trends from the Baby Boomer and Millennial generations will your window technology meet?

4. How much more would consumers pay for this technology and why will they be willing to?

5. (Optional) Sketches, CAD renderings, drawings, mock-ups, charts, videos, graphs or any other visuals that better illustrate your idea.

Things to consider:

- Prioritize! If you have multiple functionalities to your window tech, let us know which are the most important.

- Get Creative! Unique ideas with great functions will win us over in this challenge! Suggesting something simple like a button that can open and close a window instead of an old-fashioned crank will not be creative enough.

- Focus on value! How does your idea improve the window and the lives of the consumers that use it? We want ideas that consumers will be excited to incorporate into their homes and show off to guests and visitors.

- Show us your idea! It’s listed as optional, but including schematics, a sketch, or design rendering will go a long way in winning you this design-focused challenge.
