If you are a student using LabVIEW, submit your application in the LabVIEW Student Design Competition and you could win big. Here's what one student had to say about participating: "If you have a cool project that uses LabVIEW, do not hesitate submitting your project to this competition! Presenting at NIWeek and winning the Student Design Competition led to numerous RA opportunities, internships and job offers. I now have a full time job at NI, and I am anxious to start work in October!"

Hurry! Submission deadline is June 10, 2011 »
