Podcast Inventors and their inventions... Welcome to Radio Cade -- a podcast from the Cade Museum. We'll introduce you to inventors and the things that motivate them. We'll learn about their personal stories, how their inventions work, and how their ideas get from the laboratory to the marketplace. Full transcripts of each episode are available here.
Cade Prize Since 2010, the Cade Prize has celebrated innovation by identifying, recognizing, and celebrating Florida-based inventors and entrepreneurs, who, through an innovative invention, demonstrate a creative approach to addressing problems in their field of expertise. Find out about past winners and hear their stories.
