More than 200 students showcased 145 projects at the 11th annual event held at Los Medanos College in Pittsburg, Calif. and BWG was a business sponsor for the Most Creative Award category given to both age levels in the competition.

Anish Singhani was selected as the junior level Most Creative Award winner for his project on “Indoor Navigation System for the Visually Impaired”.

“Thomas, Sophia and Anish developed remarkable projects that required not only scientific knowledge and research, but also a creative mind to think beyond the parameters of what has already been done and consider the possibilities for change,” said Pamela Kan, president, Bishop-Wisecarver Group. “Demonstrating creativity is one of our core values at BWG and we are excited to honor these students for exemplifying this important aspect in their projects.
