STEMup: Youth Maker Competition
Are you a student with a great idea to solve a problem in your community?
The STEMUp: Youth Maker Competition is a live competition modeled after the television show “Shark Tank” and is an opportunity for young people in the Greater Atlanta region to use their ideas, voice, and leadership to improve their communities.
How to Apply
Step 1
Select a theme to compete in: choose a community issue that is important to you and explain why it should be addressed or identify a STEM-related entrepreneurial venture.
Step 2
Consider an invention you could create to address an issue affecting people or to develop a product or service for an entrepreneurial venture. Prepare a 3 to 5-minute video discussing your solution and submit it with your application by the deadline.
Step 3
United Way of Greater Atlanta and volunteer judges will review all video submissions to determine who will be invited to the Design Thinking Workshops and Live Pitch. You will receive notification regardless of the outcome.
