Fist Place After preparing for a little under a week, my team and I research, analyzed, and formulated a solution for how Iowa State University can help plan and prepare for rapid urbanization throughout the state of Iowa. Our proposed solution was to partner Iowa State University students with various public and private entities to bring smart city technology to urban and rural Iowa. These partnerships would not only benefit Iowa but also improve student employability by giving them the critical experimental-education experience employers look for.
