The Comercial Educational Institution in Envigado, Colombia, has been named one of the world's 10 best schools in the inaugural Global Schools Prize 2026, winning the Sustainability category for its Inventipaz project—a program where students design technological solutions to real-world problems, including a smoke-to-biofuel converter, anti-mine robotic legs, and assistive devices for ALS patients. The school received $50,000 in prize money and representation at the Education World Forum in London, making it one of only two Colombian schools among more than 3,000 applicants from 113 countries.
