Annually, the MIT IDEAS Global Challenge awards up to $25,000 for innovative and entrepreneurial projects that address problems of the impoverished around the world. Previous winning projects have included: curriculum development and tools for the disabled, low-cost autoclaves for health posts in Nepal, and affordable, improved carts for street vendors in Thailand.
