I see that Guy has already mentioned this over on his blog<\/a>, but it’s a cool community activity, so I want to call it out here too.<\/p>\n

The Simulink Student Challenge<\/a> is designed to reward cool projects created with Simulink in universities around the world. There’s so much great stuff out there, we’re just doing what we can to surface it so that everyone is aware of it. You can participate in the challenge in three easy steps. <\/p>\n

Step 1. Be a student.
\nStep 2. Make a video of your project.
\nStep 3. Upload your video to YouTube with the magic hashtag #SimulinkChallenge2016.<\/p>\n
