South Hampton K-8 School emerged victorious in the finals of the Altec Challenge, held at the company’s Birmingham office today.
The winning team receives $10,000 from Altec to implement its project, a community-based vending machine, dubbed the Hygiene Hub, to share diapers and other sanitary and hygiene products.
Other finalists included W.J. Christian K-8 School, Ossie Ware Mitchell Middle School, and Wilkerson Middle School.
Held annually, the Altec Challenge gives students the opportunity to identify community challenges and develop technology-based solutions. Past winners have addressed challenges such as recycling and growing healthy food.
