Christopher Columbus Awards: Innovation Generation
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: a $25,000 Columbus Foundation Community Grant and an all-expense-paid trip to Walt Disney World to attend the program’s National Championship Week, plus a $200 development grant to further refine their idea, and a $2,000 U.S. Savings Bond for each team member. Eligibility: middle-school-age (sixth, seventh, and eighth grade) children; teams do not need to be affiliated with a school to enter. Deadline: February 9, 2009.
