2025 EngineerGirl Writing Contest - Submissions due February 1, 2025
Smart devices perform some level of computing and connect with other devices via the internet. This creates new possibilities for ways that objects in your home can help you and also means new risks. For the 2025 Contest. students will describe a common object they would make "smart,” then tell what it would do, how it would help people, and what could go wrong. The contest is open to all youth (not just girls) in grades 3-12 and submissions have a chance to win up to $1,000! The submission deadline is February 1, 2025. Get the details at EngineerGirl.org/Contest.
