Loren has been kind enough to let me use her blog to tell you about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mathworks.com\/academia\/student-challenge\/matlab-online-live-editor-challenge.html\">MATLAB Online Live Editor Challenge<\/a>. The challenge is open to students and faculty of any college, university, or degree-granting institution.  It's an opportunity for students to win up to <span>&#36;<\/span>750 and for faculty to win up to &dollar;1000. Simply show us how you would use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mathworks.com\/products\/matlab\/live-editor.html\">Live Editor<\/a> in MATLAB Online to create a live script on a topic of interest to you.<\/p><p>For students, pick a topic you've learned about in a class or from a research project or pick a concept in science, engineering, math or anything else that interests you.. For faculty, select a topic in your area and show us how you would teach that topic using a live script. You can work individually or in teams and submit as many entries as you want. We&#8217;ll judge each entry on things like presentation clarity, topic uniqueness, creativity, and effective use of Live Editor features. If your entry is a winner, we'll feature your live script on our website and you'll receive a cash prize.<\/p><h4>MATLAB Online<a name=\"65ba4dc2-c1d6-4f15-b8eb-2ed19edcc9bd\"><\/a><\/h4><p>For the challenge you'll be using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mathworks.com\/products\/matlab-online.html\">MATLAB Online<\/a> to create and share your live script.
