Altec Innovation Challenge
The First Annual Altec Innovation Challenge encourages Botetourt County students to innovatively solve real-world problems while benefiting their school and/or community. During this competition, which begins August 9, student teams will work with their faculty to identify a problem facing their school or community and propose a solution using Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). The winning idea will be awarded $10,000 for implementation in the Spring of 2024. Interested? Get a team together and send us your innovative ideas!
