Other categories focus on innovation, customer support, professional development, and social impact in STEM education.
The deadline for nominations is June 28, 2024, with entry fees ranging from $575 to $695, depending on the number of submissions. An early-bird discount of $50 per submission is available for entries submitted before May 17, 2024.
Judging by educators will take place in July, followed by a popular vote open to over 250,000 educators starting on July 30, 2024. The winners will be announced on August 20, 2024, through various platforms.
