Progress School's team "Bees" will represent Georgia at the Diamond Challenge International Final.
Progress School is a space where students create their own success stories every day. It is precisely their achievements that establish Progress as a leader on both the international and local stage. This is evidenced by the fact that in 2024-2025 alone, Progress students won more than 55 first places in international projects and this number continues to grow.
One of the most prestigious recent international competitions where Progress students achieved outstanding results was Diamond Challenge. Three Progress teams competed in the regional final, and team "Bees" was named the first-place winner.
Diamond Challenge is one of the world's most prestigious entrepreneurship competitions for high school students, created within the Horn Entrepreneurship program at the University of Delaware. Since 2012, more than 16,000 young people from 126 countries have participated.
Participants develop business or social innovation ideas and present them to experienced mentors. The competition culminates in the Limitless World Summit - a multi-day event held at the University of Delaware where young innovators from around the world compete for a $100,000 prize fund.
The Progress team won the regional final with their project - Bee Venom Extraction Process Management and Control System - which focuses on the efficient management and control of bee venom harvesting, combining innovation with social responsibility.
