GREENVILLE, Texas – October 30, 2024 – Today, TIME reveals its annual list of the Best Inventions, which features 200 extraordinary innovations changing our lives. BOLT+ was named a Best Invention in the Education category for 2024.

 

 

To compile this year's list, TIME solicited nominations from TIME editors and correspondents around the world, and through an online application process, paying special attention to growing fields—such as health care, AI, and green energy. TIME then evaluated each contender on a number of key factors, including originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact.

Of the new list, TIME’s editors write: “The result is a list of 200 groundbreaking inventions (and 50 special mention inventions)—including the world's largest computer chip, a humanoid robot joining the workforce, and a bioluminescent houseplant—that are changing how we live, work, play, and think about what’s possible.”
