This year’s theme continues to be “Tech Innovation for Good.” We are looking for students whose ideas, projects, and innovations demonstrate creativity, ingenuity, and a desire to make a meaningful difference in their communities and beyond.

We Need Your Help Spreading the Word!

The nomination portal is now open through the link below or the QR code in the attachment, and we would be incredibly grateful if you would help us share this opportunity with your students, teachers, staff, families, and networks.

We will also be sharing social media graphics and promotional information that you can easily forward or post through your own channels. Our goal is to make sure every deserving student across the Tri-Valley has an opportunity to be considered.
