Making it Happen is an internationally recognized awards program brought to us by ISTE for educators in the field of educational technology integration in K–12 schools. The program identifies and rewards educational technology leaders around the world for their commitment and innovation.

To date, more than 305 outstanding educators have been honored with the coveted pink jacket (black for men). Making It Happen recipients join a prestigious group that includes classroom teachers, school principals, district superintendents, state superintendents, the director of education technology at the U.S. Department of Education (John Bailey), governors, and former Secretary of Education Richard Riley.
