The victors each got a $2,000 money prize and a blessing pack of study hall supplies from 3M, while the eight other participants each got $500 each and 3M blessing packs. One of the current year's three top victors, Leon Grant, is the originator of the Bridge-Gap STEM Mentoring Program and Society for Pre-Engineering at Marietta High School in Marietta, Ga. Award has led a three-year venture in which his understudies work with designing understudies and experts to look into, designer, structure, and develop maintainable structures for networks in Haiti, utilizing repurposed delivering compartments. Leon has propelled a large number of his understudies to proceed to examine designing in school and become fruitful building experts. DiscoverE Educator Award-champ Jill Johnson began her profession as an electrical designer filling in as an innovative work controls master.

This years third victor, Daisy Rayela, accepts that learning shouldnt be constrained to the homeroom. Before turning into the present STEM facilitator at Thomas Johnson Middle School in Lanham, Md., Rayela educated at Jose Panganiban National High School, where her science club was dynamic in earth centered effort programs inside the network. Rayela began the Gateway to Technology program at her school to offer understudies critical thinking, hands-on STEM based exercises identified with plan and displaying, mechanization and mechanical autonomy, vitality and the earth. The eight sprinters up in this years program are Ramatu Gariba of the South Municipal Education Directorate in Accra, Ghana; Rebekah Hammack of Stillwater Middle School in Stillwater, Okla.; Cary James of Bangor High School in Bangor, Maine; Richard Johnson of Rostrata Primary School in Whilletton, Australia; Katie Marchionna of Highland High School in Palmdale, Calif.; Aaron Tostado of Da Vinci Science High School in Hawthorne, Calif.; Jaime Trevino of the Foy H.
