This competition was in conjunction with the museum’s recent tour entitled Paths of Progress: Patents Past and Present. Students were asked to compose a composition which explored the role of patents in safeguarding the intellectual property of our nation’s innovators. Maya’s essay examined the right of citizens to maintain their intellectual property and considered what society would be like if this right was not protected. As the winner of this contest, Maya received a $100 cash prize.
