Georgia Tech hosts an annual competition called Ideas to Serve (I2S) that encourages students to put forward their most innovative ideas for solving a social or environmental problem. Winners compete for $10,000 in prizes and gain valuable feedback from mentors and local experts in the field on their projects.
Several successful projects from previous competitions went on to become functioning organizations, such as Pentorship, which provides needed education and life skills for prison inmates, and Atlanta Harvest, which builds small farms in cities to address the lack of fresh produce in certain urban areas.
This year’s team winners included Bac-Off, a spray-on anti-microbial product for use in hospitals, and Memora Health, a healthcare solution that uses personal cellphones to provide education and behavioral nudges.
