Design/Engineer a solution that automates or optimizes a process/product based on the theme "safety/security"
Get ready for the 2024 TI Codes Contest! It puts students’ creative and innovative thinking to the test!
In the first round, student teams come up with an idea and pitch it to TI. If they are successful in making it to the 2nd round- they must use TI technology combined with their coding, design and building skills to create a model of the solution. TI will loan and provide a $500 grant for additional supplies for those who make it to the development round.
For more information visit TI-Codes Contest.
Details will be available when the contest launches on Jan. 8, 2024. Subscribe NOW to TI’s email list to receive official contest updates.
