April 17th, 2025.

• Interested in participating? Connect with Steven@ed2s.org and share your recruiting goals with us.

LifeScience/Biomed Innovate-A-thon Sprint

Our team conducts one Innovate-A-thon sprint per month. Through these sprints, 9-12 students from universities across the country participate in a three week innovation experience, focusing on a specific problem statement. Each participating student receives a modest scholarship!  Examples of addressed problems include regenerative agriculture innovation, cost effective prosthetics for developing regions, and advanced recycling. Check out some of our news releases on our website to learn more!

The IAT team conducts quarterly, national votes for topics, and takes on topics of sponsoring companies.  One of our summer, 2025 IAT sprints will focus on Life Sciences/Biomed.
