Ready. Set. Go. 

One year ago, a group of @purdue.ece students blew our minds with their Rubik's Cube robot, which solves the puzzle faster than the blink of an eye. 🤯

"Before you even realize it's solved, we've solved it."

The group was recognized by Guinness World Records for building the fastest robot to solve a puzzle cube. Watch the full video at the 🔗 in bio.

A big THANK YOU to the Purdue Engineering community for participating in the 2026 Design Expo and #PurdueDayofGiving!

Design Expo and the Malott Innovation Awards, hosted jointly at the Purdue Armory, featured nearly 180 teams of more than 1,000 students.

Boilermakers also gave back in a big way, with 340 donations to Purdue Engineering totaling nearly $12 million on Purdue Day of Giving.

That's excellence at scale. Watch the full video recap at the 🔗 in bio.

"It is heartwarming to know that someone is out there willing to support my education."

For Jennifer Yang, a Purdue Engineering scholarship was more than financial relief; it meant someone believed in her.

That encouragement is being paid forward in a big way. Jennifer and her senior design team are developing a portable incubator and bacterial detection system that uses elastic light scattering technology to accelerate public health safety — the kind of innovation that could one day change lives.

For Jennifer, that's exactly the point. Senior design is where four years of learning becomes something real. Her project was on display today at Design Expo in the Purdue Armory.

Purdue Engineering scholarships, Jennifer says, don't just ease financial burdens. They inspire students to work harder and dream bigger, fueled by the knowledge that someone in their corner believes in what they're working toward.

This Purdue Day of Giving, your donation at the link in bio powers students like Jennifer who are pursuing the breakthroughs of tomorrow. This hour, bonus funds will be awarded to the unit with the most gifts from student donors.

"It is honestly the reason I've been able to go to Purdue at all."

Rebecca Patino says that simply, and it says everything.

As a Purdue Engineering scholarship recipient, Rebecca has turned her opportunity into impact. Her senior design project tackles a real engineering challenge: an automated, self-service safety glasses dispensing system for @purdue.me shops, improving safety compliance and providing 24/7 access beyond limited staff hours. You can see Rebecca’s project on display right now at Design Expo in the Purdue Armory.

For Rebecca, the bigger picture is personal. "These donations create thousands of opportunities for thousands of students. You're not just investing in future education; you're investing in the next engineer, the next innovator, the next leader."

And one day, she plans to be on the giving side, too.

This Purdue Day of Giving, your donation at the link in bio gives opportunities to students like Rebecca. Bonus funds will be awarded to the unit with the most gifts this hour.

"It's always a good opportunity to start, try something new."

The gateway course "Changing the World with Chips" features industry speakers who provide first-year students with industry overviews and career pathways in the semiconductor field. Since 2022, more than 900 students have taken this course.

It's part of a campus-wide semiconductor certificate accessible to all undergraduates. For @purdue.ece's Leo Janert, the class was an eye-opener and a foot in the door.
