San Diego, CA (PRWeb) January 8, 2007 -- What will the typical college dorm room look like in the year 2020? On-demand supplemental lectures available in every room? Translucent solar panels on dorm windows to charge laptops that weigh less than a three-ring binder?

Three top student writers will qualify for a college scholarship ($1,000, $500, and $250) and up to 50 top essays will be officially published into book format and distributed to college presidents, technology research & development firms, and journalists in the national media in June 2007.

"This is a chance for creative, forward-thinking students to brainstorm the coolest gadgets they can think of. No rules, no limits--we're really looking for some crazy ideas here… Technology can be very cool when it enhances campus life."
