Awards

Jackson Labs

Proudly entering year four, The Jackson Laboratory Achievement Award seeks to promote student participation from Connecticut’s Alliance Districts by recognizing stand-out projects with a bioscience/public health/medical innovation in the Prototype and Development Challenge categories respectively.

The goal of the LGCC is not to have “winners” – rather, it focuses on highlighting exceptional student work that shines for its quality, creativity, and impact. Instead of traditional rankings, expert judges select standout projects – recognized for their innovative and inspiring ideas – across every grade band in each of the three Challenge categories.

Students’ submissions are eligible to contend for a variety of fabulous prizes! Past awards have included:

Aquarium tickets
Amazon gift cards
Customized college/career tours
Drones
Ipads
Robotics kits
Science center tickets
STEM summer camp
Themed gift baskets
And more!
