Weber says teams will give their presentations to a panel of judges Thursday afternoon.

"We have 14 finalists," she said, "and they are competing for $180,000 in cash prizes and probably another $20,000 to $40,000 in non-cash prizes."

Winners will be awarded in the undergraduate, upper, social innovation and urban health tracks.
