The Infy Makers Awards contest by Infosys Foundation USA is open to educators from K-12 schools, universities, colleges, libraries, museums, makerspaces and youth-serving non-profit organizations using maker education to promote equitable and inclusive pathways for K-12+ students in computer science. This year's theme, "Making A Difference," aims to identify and celebrate projects that empower students to become creative and collaborative problem-solvers. We're looking for educators who are inspiring their students to tackle real-world challenges, both in their local communities and on a global scale.
Ten winning educators will receive a $10,000 grant and the opportunity to participate in the Making CS Inclusive Cohort, a professional learning experience facilitated by Digital Promise in 2025. The grant is flexible funding that can be used for materials, projects, research, community engagement and more. The awards are part of Infosys Foundation USA's support for maker education, including the #WhyIMake initiative.
