Toshiba and NTSA Announce Winners of 30th Annual ExploraVision Challenge

Toshiba and the NSTA announced the eight national winners of the world’s largest K-12 science competition, the 30th annual Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision challenge.

The winners of this year have shared their innovative proposals to help overcome some of the greatest challenges facing the world currently, from healthcare challenges to sustainability efforts and energy efficiency.

The ExploraVision challenge by Toshiba and NTSA is designated to inspire students to develop the skills emphasized in the Next Generation Science Standards, consisting of problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration skills.

To take part, students must visualize and produce a system or a technology that can potentially solve the problems of the future.

The eight winning projects of the 30th Annual ExploraVision challenge demonstrate admirable ideas ranging from medical treatment and health innovations to sustainability and conservation.

“For 30 consecutive years, students across the U.S. and Canada have demonstrated creativity, passion, and intelligence while coming up with new and innovative solutions to some of the world’s biggest, most critical issues,” said Mr. Ryuji Maruyama, Chairman & CEO, Toshiba America. “We are proud to announce the winners of the 30th annual ExploraVision challenge. These students – with the support of their coaches, mentors, family, and friends – are pushing the boundaries of modern science and we are continually inspired by their commitment to making the world a better place.”

The national winners of ExploraVision 2022 are invited to participate in an award ceremony on Friday, June 3 in Washington, D.C., during which winners will have the opportunity to showcase their winning ideas in a presentation to scientist, engineer, comedian, author, and inventor, Bill Nye the Science Guy.
