PHASE ONE
End: October 30, 2025
The Activation Stage is when you embark on your journey to collaborate, to innovate, and to change the world!
Brainstorm ideas, select your innovation, lay out the details, and take an invaluable first step on your entrepreneurial journey.
1
Create a team of 2-5 students. Invite students from other schools, cities, states or even countries to collaborate without borders.! Having the right team members is a key ingredient for our successful teams.
Recruit a coach. This can be a teacher, parent, subject-matter expert or other qualified mentor over the age of 18.
All of your team members and your coach will register through our Conrad Portal under one account. As part of registration, you and your legal guardian must review the Student Guide, the Rules & Regulations and Terms & Conditions which apply to all participants.
2
Partner with your teammates to brainstorm different challenges to address and explore innovative solutions. You’ll find some great resources on how to come up with viable ideas in our Student Resource Library.
Choose your name and category! At this stage, you will finalize a name for your innovation and team name and as well as select a Challenge category in your Conrad Portal. If your team has changed its name since the Activation Stage, please go back to the “Getting Started” tab and revise it. Your name should be the same in both tabs.
