2008 Innovation in Education
Awards Recipients
Project Tomorrow and AeA would like to extend their congratulations to the winners of the 15th Annual High-Tech Innovation Awards. The winners were announced on April 29, 2008 at a sold-out dinner and awards ceremony that drew nearly 500 luminaries from local high-tech companies, financial and government institutions, as well as academic leaders, educators, students, investors and media affiliates.
In addition, we would like to thank our sponsor, Emulex, for helping to extend the reach of the Innovation in Education awards program. For the second year, we awarded a college scholarship to the winner of the Emerging Student Innovator Award.
