An important goal of the Collegiate Inventors Competition is to stimulate public interest in technologies and innovation being developed for the common good. As a result, in 2010 Invent Now produced the first annual Collegiate Science Journalist Competition (CJSC) which was designed to recognize the importance of science and technology journalism and to honor exceptional students who are planning careers in science and technology reporting.
Ten finalists produced written and video news stories on a Collegiate Inventors Competition finalist. These stories were judged by successful professional science journalists from Forbes, NBC, and Scientific American among others. Three winners were selected. Meet the winners, and the finalists, here.
The Collegiate Inventors Competition recognizes student inventors whose research and inventions will change our future.
Since 1990, the Competition has showcased the most advanced student research in science, engineering, mathematics, technology (STEM) and creative invention. The Competition receives applications from colleges and universities from throughout the U.S. and Canada and last year awarded nearly $80,000 in prizes to undergraduate and graduate students and their advisors.
