Infy Maker Awards

Deadline: March 6, 2018

If you are a school, library or youth organization looking to expand access to Maker experiences for K-12 students, here’s your chance to win $10,000. Through the Infy Maker Awards, Infosys Foundation USA has expanded opportunities for more students across the U.S. to engage in making and has supported Makers with innovative solutions to important local and global problems. In its third year, the contest is open to K-12 schools and youth-serving organizations who aim to create more opportunities for students to engage in hands-on, interdisciplinary learning through making.

Ten organizations will each receive a $10,000 grant. Winners will also receive Maker professional development for two staff members and travel support to attend CrossRoads 2018, Infosys Foundation USA’s annual CS and Maker education conference. The grant can be used for a variety of purposes including: materials and equipment, structural improvements, additional professional development, projects for students, impact and assessment research or community outreach and engagement.
