In tandem with her work with the Youth Outreach Program, Denise offered the tickets to the current 2024 Nanovation Competition students. Jane Goodall had personally gifted Denise 20 seats to her Roots and Shoots event to help inner city children have access to higher education and exploration in responsible environmental science. The Nanovation Competition, founded by Denise Avchen, invites groups of Southern California high school students to dream up nanoscience-based technologies and pitch them as notional businesses. The competition final for this year's 2024 Nanovation Competition will be presented on May 17, 2024.
Roots and Shoots, a global project headed by the Jane Goodall Institute, is one of the largest global movements empowering young leaders to effect positive change in their community environments.
