The 2015 Conrad Spirit of Innovation Challenge is open through 3 November 2014 for registration of student teams from kindergarten through university levels. With a basic registration cost of $95, teams may choose one of four categories to compete in: Aerospace & Aviation; Energy & Environment; Cyber Technology & Security; or Health & Nutrition. There is an optional category (for an additional registration fee) of Giant Leap to Mars. Once registered, students research problems facing that sector and begin to develop innovative solutions. An on-line "Investor Pitch" round is conducted on-line, with written and video submissions due by 4 November 2014; winners will go on to the on-line semi-final "Draft Development Plan" round, with a business proposal, technical plan, and graphic representation due by 16 January 2015. Teams judged to have the top Development Plan will be selected to go on to the Innovation Summit, where they will make in-person presentations, be honored as Pete Conrad Scholars, and compete for $500,000 in sponsored awards. Final submissions are due in March of 2015, and the Summit will be held in April.
