This fall, Quirky’s going Back to College with Bed Bath & Beyond® — THE go-to destination for dorm room and back to school gear.
Well, not really… homework isn’t really our jam anymore.
But we ARE working with Bed Bath & Beyond® to develop awesome, solution-oriented products specifically geared toward the college crowd. Over the next few weeks, we’re taking a Back to College Tour to schools around the country to get students on board, and we want you along for the ride.
Here’s the challenge we’re posing to these college students, and to the Quirky community:
Let’s make Back to College products that solve real problems.
We’re talking must-haves, not “nice-to-haves”. Let’s tackle things like organization, small spaces, storage, cooking, cleaning, lighting, decorating… heck, even studying. Great ideas could wind up in stores in a matter of months, just in time for Back to College season.
A couple of things to note about this brief’s schedule:
- An extended submission period, through February 12.
- A shortened community evaluation period, from February 13-15.
- An accelerated staff evaluation period. Winners will be announced on Friday, February 18.
For this brief, we’re not going to shy away from higher price points, but we will say no to high-end electronics.
So what are you waiting for? Make an impact, earn influence, get paid. Submit your idea now!
Note: Bed Bath & Beyond® is a registered trademark of Bed Bath & Beyond®. There is no guarantee that Bed Bath & Beyond® will purchase any of the products submitted to this project. It’s on us to wow them with innovative, collaboratively-developed awesomeness.
