The 2024 awards program showcases sophisticated products that today’s schools are asking for. Creative and purpose driven fixtures, furniture, and equipment designed to enhance well-being and achievement for learners across the PK-12 to higher education continuum.
A panel of four education practice-based judges reviewed and evaluated thirty-three entries submitted on criteria including aesthetics, innovation, impact, and much more. Selected Product Innovation Award high-scoring finalists then live-pitched their products onsite at the EDspaces Conference in Houston, Texas Monday November 11, 2024.
