PLTW Community Impact Award 2024 (Middle School)

The 2024 winners of the middle school Community Impact Award from Project Lead The Way were a wonderfully creative group of young people from the JSTEM Academy in Judson Middle School (Converse, Texas).

The winning group designed and built a “fidget widget” board to support the rehabilitation of youth and adults who are recovering from traumatic brain injuries. The completed boards were donated to a local rehabilitation facility and used by the school therapist. Their project was selected as the middle school winner from nominations submitted from across the U.S. for collaboration, innovation, and scalability. Through this project, the students showed how their enhancements would make a difference in people’s lives, solve a local problem, and how the impact would leave a legacy in the community.
