TCRI and Rural Reimagined congratulate Brandon Pierce for winning the 2022 TN Tech Eagle Works competition! Twelve student-led teams pitched their ideas to a Shark-Tank style panel in efforts to win part of the prize pool worth over $13,000 in donor-funded scholarships. Pierce entered his business, Pure Legacy- Future Innovators, and received first place in the competition. Operating under Pierce’s Pure Legacy LLC company, Future Innovators is a non-profit STEM education company that provides free STEM materials to community events, centers, and STEM events, as well as free one-on-one tutoring. Pierce says, “I wish I had something creative to participate in as a kid. Future Innovators will not only provide a creative outlet for children in this area but will also supply the need for STEM trained workers in today’s labor force.” Congratulations to Brandon Pierce for his win at TN Tech 2022 Eagle Works! TCRI encourages all students to bring their ideas to Eagle Works 2023. #LiveWingsUp!
