Shivangi Shah and Kate Pipa – Winning Entrepreneurs

Kate Pipa and Shivagi Shah

As part of the Entrepreneurs Club’s Husky StartUp Challenge spring 2013, Shivangi Shah (2015) and Kate Pipa (2013) created genius.box, a monthly themed box of STEM (science, technology, education, and mathematics) activities delivered monthly right to subscribers’ doors  packed with projects and learning opportunities. genius.box is trying to bring hands on learning along with a curiosity and passion for education home. Shivangi and Kate won second place for their remarkable innovation. They are hoping that they will inspire the next generation of kids to be passionate and curious about STEM and will enable them to to tackle the challenges of tomorrow, today.
