The awards celebrate young and adult Makers across the United States who demonstrate creative excellence. In addition, Infosys Foundation USA will award 50 USD$10,000 Makerspace grants to schools, libraries and other community organizations.
Each grant will be in cash and in kind, and will seed dynamic Makerspaces at each grantee location. Recipients of these grants will be nominated by the student winners.
