The Grand Finale of Top Young Innovators 2024 took place during DiscoverSTEM Innovation Day, an annual event that celebrates the achievements of young innovators mentored by DiscoverSTEM.

Distinguished guests, including Texas State Representative Salman Bhojani and Senior NASA Scientist Dr. Hashima Hasan, presented the awards, recognizing the significant contributions these young individuals are making to science and technology.
Dallas-based Hisham Ahmad won the America’s Top Young Innovator 2024 title for his invention—a system that autonomously disinfects door handles. This innovation addresses a common source of germ transmission in public spaces, with the potential to reduce hospital-acquired infections and improve public health.
