The InVenture Prize Innovation Competition was held on Friday, February 20th in Thomasville, Georgia. 102 Student Innovators representing 44 projects from schools in Thomas, Colquitt, and Decatur Counties were present to pitch their product creation. These creations are based on design theory and science to instruct the design and marketing of their product. Area businesses, economic developers, teachers, and community supporters turned out in record numbers to judge and lend support to these young people. The InVenture Prize celebrates its 11th year in Georgia’s schools supporting science and entrepreneurship through projects that address a need or advantage in areas including Animals, Inclusion, Sports, Health, Agriculture, Consumer Product, and Technology. This program can be utilized from kindergarten to 12th grade. Winners from the regional competition will travel to Atlanta on March 11th to pitch their projects at the State InVenture Prize event. The Southwest Georgia Regional Commission is pleased to support this program and many other education innovation programs through our Georgia AIM grant.

Our own Executive Director, Suzanne Angell attended this event as a judge and was wowed by the creativity of the student innovators.
