About the Grainger Computing Innovation Prize

The second annual Grainger Computing Innovation Prize calls on Illinois Tech students to develop creative technology solutions to the most challenging problems facing our society today. The “Computing with Data for Social Good” theme for the 2022 competition aims to tackle real-world problems in education, health, energy, public safety, transportation, economic development, sustainable smart infrastructure, and climate change.

Students are encouraged, through interdisciplinary teams, to leverage their skills in computing, big data, data science, and artificial intelligence toward creative and impactful uses of technology to improve the world. Successful entries must include some aspect of computing and demonstrate the work’s potential societal impact.

The competition will take place over the 2022 fall semester.

Tackle these challenging problems to win your share of a total of $30,000 in prizes:

First Place Team: $15,000 
Second Place Team: $10,000 
Third Place Team: $5,000

The Grainger Computing Innovation Prize was established through a generous endowed gift from The Grainger Foundation, an independent, private foundation based in Lake Forest, Illinois, that provides substantive support to a broad range of organizations, including educational, medical, cultural, and human services institutions.
