Why Take the Challenge?
Because we believe you have the ability to make the world a better place. Each year we challenge you to address global sustainability by creating an innovative product or service using science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Just as entrepreneurs must succinctly pitch their ideas, you will enter by working with a team to submit a proposal by answering only four questions about your project. Plus, you will also have access to mentors, webinar, videos, articles and resources to help you innovate and excel as an entrepreneur. Students who advance through the challenge receive the opportunity to submit a full business and technical plan as well as graphical representation of their project. You don’t need to create a prototype, but you are welcome to do so if you want the extra challenge!
