Idea & Innovation Challenge

Now Accepting Applications!!

The Idea and Innovation Challenge is a chance to solve a problem with YOUR Ideas and win up to $1,100! If you consider yourself a creative problem solver, have strong feelings about problems in your community, or are looking for opportunities to apply your mindset and skill then this competition is for you! 

This year, the competition will feature 3 tracks: The Technology & Innovation Track, the Social Impact Track, and the Spark Track. The Spark Trackwill be an opportunity for students who don’t have their own idea to work on a solution to a problem that will be announced in advance.

This Year's SPARK Challenge:  Reimagining the Future of Social Media: 

Create a concept for a social media platform that’s just as engaging and viral as the ones we use today — but designed to uplift, not undermine.

• Rewards presence over perfection
• Fosters real connection over performance
• Sparks joy, creativity, humor, weirdness, and belonging
• Makes users feel more grounded, confident, and worthy after using it
• Tackles the mental health crisis by changing the conditions, not diagnosing the symptoms

This is your chance to invent something that could actually shift how your generation connects online — and prove that virality can be a force for good.
