'K12 InVenture Prize incorporates all into one program.'įirst place prize winners from this year's Georgia Tech competition included teams from Walton High School, Madras Middle School, and Kelly Mill Elementary. 'Most STEM competitions have a design process whether it's the scientific method, or the engineering design process,' said Jasmine Patel, the Educational Outreach Coordinator at Georgia Tech's Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing ( CEISMC). Their projects ranged from a sleeping bag with features to help those in shelters to a patent-pending device that assists emergency procedures for blocked airways. The competition pushes students to tackle world issues in unique ways.

Students competed with various projects centered on invention and innovation, focusing on solutions for a 21st-century world.
