2024 WINNERS
Henon Hailu
Mechatronics Engineering student
"I envision a world of accessible innovations like flying cars, autonomous mobility vehicles, and even helpful, harmless AI robots. While some see such aspirations as impossible, I realize that they are feasible when I utilize my passion for engineering as a catalyst. One's ambitions function as a tool to bridge their fantasy and reality. Relentlessly pursue your passions to achieve the world of your dreams."
University of Waterloo
Spencer Arnold
Electrical Engineering student
"I went into engineering because of my passion for creation. I want to be able to take what I wish existed or imagine could exist and turn that into reality. Engineering empowers people to improve upon the world around them and I would like to thank Progressive Automations for giving me the opportunity to pursue my dream of engineering."

Utilize the Linear Actuator for Your Design
Your engineering innovation is something we crave to learn more about. Using our electric linear actuators and corresponding products as your basis, we want you to describe or design an inventive project related to social responsibility. These don’t have to be ground-breaking technologies – they can be as simple as you like. Points are scored for creative-thinking and inventiveness!
