In order to assist the most people, the team devised a solution to work from within the 100+ year old public education system - using knowledge gained from personal experience. In addition to developing the requested pitch and business proposal, the team also devised and submitted an original video, collage advertisement, and future expansion plan.
The Conrad Challenge is an annual, multi-phase innovation and entrepreneurship competition that encourages young adults to participate in designing the future through purpose-driven education. Each year, teams of 2-5 students, ages 13-18, from around the world create products and/or services to address some of the most pressing global and local challenges. They become entrepreneurial problem-solvers, addressing challenging social, scientific and societal issues through utilizing their creativity and critical-thinking skills. https://www.conradchallenge.org/
