There are historically two fundamental ways to think: inside the box and outside of the box. At the Conrad Challenge, we don’t believe in this philosophy, we encourage students to enjoy the freedom of thinking like there is no box. Because when it comes to innovation, who needs a box?

The Conrad Challenge is an annual, multi-phase innovation and entrepreneurial competition that encourages young adults to leave their mark on the world. Each year, teams of 2-5 students, ages 13-18, from around the globe create products and/or services that address some of the most pressing global challenges. Students take direct control of their learning – it extends well beyond the bounds of the school day and becomes an all-encompassing, passionate mission. They leave the title of ‘student’ and become entrepreneurial problem-solvers, addressing challenging social, scientific and societal issues through creativity and critical thinking.
