This competition will challenge you, so your hard work deserves to be celebrated with some incredible prizes!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate the 2024-2025 Pete Conrad Scholars, we awarded an all-expense paid trip to Boston, Massachusetts, the home of one of the world\u2019s most renowned STEM institutions, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this multi-day trip, the scholars toured facilities at MIT, participated in hands-on STEM activities and of course, explored the beautiful city of Boston. The celebration didn\u2019t stop there, though! The scholars also received patent support and academic scholarships to take their innovations and careers to the next level.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
