HP Steam Expo Innovation Award is one of the most challenging and dynamic competitions for young minds!

This competition inspires students to think creatively about question for a better tomorrow:

 What if you could harvest some of the energy you burn during exercise and turn it into electricity?

 Could starvation be addressed by using artificial intelligence and IoT to improve crop yields and reduce food production costs?

 Could the minimum driving age limit change if you could neurologically control cars?
