The IGNITE Makers Program by Duke University is a free initiative that runs from September through April each year, specifically designed for high school students. The main objective of the program is to challenge students to use Human-Centered and Engineering Design processes to tackle problems related to the UN Global Goals of Clean Energy, Clean Water, or Good Health. Participants work with their Duke undergraduate mentors, both online via Zoom and in-person at Duke, to identify a problem, brainstorm a solution, prototype designs, and test solutions. Throughout the program, students will be able to build upon their technical Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) skills to develop an idea from a sketch to a prototype for a specific social challenge. This hands-on approach to problem-solving promotes creativity and critical thinking, preparing students to address both local and global challenges in their communities. The program culminates in "Duke Day," a Science Fair-style conference on Duke University's campus where students present their final projects. Past projects have covered a diverse range of topics, from greywater hydroponics and knee osteoarthritis to diabetes prevention and energy conservation. Applications for the program typically open in May. While the program does not mention specific prerequisites for participation, students are expected to be committed and passionate about problem-solving and innovation. The outcomes of the program include gaining technical STEM skills, learning to develop innovative solutions to social challenges, and having the opportunity to present at various STEM competitions and design conferences.
