Your Vote Needed! Spirit of Innovation Awards
Want to lend a hand in shaping the future?
You’ve got a vote in the Spirit of Innovation Awards – akin to a technological version of “Revenge of the Nerds” meets “American Idol.”
The Spirit of Innovation Awards is an innovative competition by the Conrad Foundation, built upon astronaut Charles “Pete” Conrad’s history of innovation and entrepreneurship.
Conrad was an extraordinary human whose accomplishments spanned the entire history of U.S. piloted space flight. Although he passed away in 1999, Conrad’s legacy continues through the Conrad Foundation’s rich programs that combine education and entrepreneurship in a revolutionary model of incentivized competition.
Here’s your chance to take part!
From Monday, March 29th through April 9th, you have the opportunity to vote for your favorite high school innovators!
Online Voting: Real Science Gets Real
Twenty-four of the top high school teams have been designing the future. And it’s not science fiction. Rather, it is where education meets innovation and entrepreneurship…where real science gets real.
Teams have created innovative products to solve some of the grand challenges facing society: From rural water collection devices, to robotic astronaut assistants and Navajo Solar Frybread Ovens.
Categories involve Aerospace Exploration Finalists; Renewable Energy & Green School Finalists; as well as Nutrition Finalists.
“These students will rock your world,” says Joshua Neubert, Executive Director of the Conrad Foundation. “Now they need you to help select the winners of the Spirit of Innovation Awards by voting online for your favorite teams. Finalists have created videos, blogs, photos and more to show off their products. You can help a generation of 21st century innovators change the world, one vote at a time”
