Founded in 1992 by the inventor Jerome Lemelson and his wife Dorthy, the Lemelson Prize has been helping fund young innovators for over 20 years. Due to the success of the program and its resolute pursuit of encouraging youth to dream big in order to solve big, the prize has begun to expand outside of Cambridge. Universities may apply to host the prize at their school and showcase some of their brightest inventors.
