Innovation Generation: Christopher Columbus Awards Program

The Christopher Columbus Awards Program combines science and technology with community problem-solving. Students work in teams with the help of an adult coach to identify an issue they care about and, using science and technology, work with experts, conduct research, and put their ideas to the test to develop an innovative solution. Maximum award: $25,000 to bring the team’s idea to the community and an all-expense-paid trip to Walt Disney World to attend the program’s National Championship Week. Eligibility: middle school-aged (sixth, seventh, and eighth grade) children; teams do not need to be affiliated with a school to enter. Deadline: February 7, 2011.
