Congratulations Team MIT on the amazing win!
In an amazing come-from-behind-victory, MIT undergraduates Anwar Atufa ’27, Kyle Hart ’28, Alex Shoulders ’27, and Andrew Wu ’28 have won the 2026 ChemE Jeopardy Championship. After dominating the preliminary and semi-final rounds on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at the AIChE student conference in Minneapolis, the team went up against University of Iowa and University of Michigan.
Despite going into Final Jeopardy in second place to Iowa, which had had a commanding lead for most of the game, MIT secured the win by being the only team to come up with the correct answer to the Final Jeopardy question.
