Date: May 14th, 2026

Time: 9:30am-1:30pm

Location: The Girl Scouts of North East Ohio Vivian von Gruenigen, MD STEM Center of Excellence - Daley Family Campus for STEM Innovation in Peninsula, Ohio.  

**This will be a fully in-person event.**

Students will compete in an instant design challenge in the morning, have lunch (provided by NEOnet), then present (in a science fair style with a tri-fold) a project they have been working on throughout the year that they are proud of!  Maximum of 3 students per group.

To be a part of The Future Innovators Summit, students will need to submit a proposal form, found here, that will be reviewed by the Summit Committee.  Proposals are due November 21st, 2025.  Please know we can only accept 30 projects which is why we are asking for the proposal form!

You can find more information on the flyer below.  We also plan on having industry professionals at the event to judge the instant design challenge.  Winning groups will receive awards!

A huge thank you to Kent State for their leadership and support as the Presenting Partner for this event.  Also, a big thank you to the Summit Committee for all their hard work.
