24 Under 24 Leaders and Innovators In STEAM and Space Awards

An annual awards program presented by The Mars Generation serves to recognize and honor young people making an incredible impact and effecting change in the world through science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics (STEAM) and/or space. This next generation of leaders and innovators are primed to have the ability to make positive changes for a better future

The Mars Generation is looking to identify and honor some of these talented and bright students and young leaders under the age of 24.

The winners of the awards excel not only in academics and the workplace but also in their local communities through volunteer work and outreach initiatives. They embrace elements of STEAM and/or space, but also participate in other activities such as athletics, political interests/lobbying, or with humanitarian or other charitable organizations.
