Innovating for a Changing World: Meet the Spring 2022 E-Team Cohort
We are excited to announce the 20 early-stage student innovator teams that have been accepted into our Spring 2022 E-Team Grant Program! Teams were chosen based on the potential for their innovation to have a significant positive social, health, or environmental impact. Twelve teams will receive a $5,000 Stage 1 grant. An additional eight teams have been selected to advance to the next stage of the program, and will be awarded $20,000 Stage 2 grants to support the development of their innovations.
From a zero-emission renewable energy storage system to an automated UV-C lightbox that decontaminates medical devices, the members of the Spring 2022 E-Team cohort are designing groundbreaking technological solutions to a variety of challenges. Green Fertilizer, a team based out of the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, is developing a low-cost, solar-powered system that produces nitrogen fertilizer from just air and water. Another great example is Glow Ink Solutions, a team developing a bright green dye that surgeons can use to more easily mark and remove tumors during colonoscopies.
