The Antonio Meucci Young Inventors 2024 1.docx
Throughout his lifetime Antonio Meucci was responsible for many inventions, improvements, and ideas. These innovations included smokeless candles, a tea and coffee filtering system, oil/kerosene lamps, and most notably, the telephone.
In keeping with the legacy of inventor Antonio Meucci (1808-1889), the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum is pleased to announce the 2024 Young Inventors’ Competition. All finalists will be notified by April 4. The final competition will be held on Sunday, April 14, 2024, at Staten Island Technical High School.
The Young Inventors’ Competition is open to all students in New York City and Long Island in grades 3 through 8 who attend either public or private school or are homeschooled. The contest invites students to present an original idea for a new invention or an improvement upon an existing one. The invention can be anything from a kitchen gadget to a machine.
Cash prizes will be awarded to individuals or groups for the best inventions.
3 first place winners will receive a cash prize of $200
3 second place winners will receive a cash prize of $150
3 third place winners will receive a cash prize of $100
The judges will be looking for:
- Simple, creative solutions to common problems
