PHASE ONE
The Activation Stage is when you and your team embark on a journey to collaborate, innovate, and change the world!
Brainstorm ideas, develop your innovation, lay out the details, and take an invaluable first step on your entrepreneurial journey.
1.1
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.
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 and Regulations, and Terms and Conditions, which apply to all participants.
1.2
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.
A Lean Canvas is a widely adopted tool used by founders to quickly map out the fundamentals of a new venture while in the early stages of the idea.
In the Lean Canvas, you’ll share your early thoughts to 12 questions that outline your innovation, your market and your business model. Keep it brief: you’re limited to a maximum of 40 words for most questions.
Use the Lean Canvas Template in the Student Resources page to help you get started.
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.
