The Diamond Challenge Limitless World Summit is a three-day global conference and competition that celebrates entrepreneurial high school students from around the globe and offers interactive workshops, panel discussions, innovation sprints and networking opportunities.
At the Summit, students develop solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges, engage and network with a global community of entrepreneurs and compete for awards and monetary prizes.
Congratulations to Georgia Kolettis ’27, Edward Wang ’27, Alejandro Forner Ibanez ’27 and Alexa Marino ’27 from team HeadStart for earning the W. L. Gore & Associates Innovation Excellence Prize, awarded to the team that best demonstrates how technology can improve lives. Their venture uses machine learning, artificial intelligence and predictive modeling to anticipate migraines before they occur. By analyzing baseline physiological data through photoplethysmography signals, their wearable device identifies early patterns in blood flow, heart rate variability and other biometric indicators.
Congratulations to all!
