THE 2018-2019 CONRAD INNOVATION SUMMIT FINALISTS

Below are the teams who have been selected as Finalists for the 2018-2019 Conrad Challenge and are invited to present their projects at the upcoming Conrad Innovation Summit at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on April 23-26, 2019. Congratulations to all of the teams who will compete for our top honor, being named a Pete Conrad Scholar!

In addition, teams were named as Alternate Finalists in each category. If a Finalist in their category is not able to attend Summit, an Alternate Finalist team will be invited to compete. Teams will receive an invitation from the Conrad Foundation on March 1, 2019 if there is a remaining spot in their category.

The business plans submitted by our Conrad Innovators this year were truly amazing and the judges were blown away by the quality of work submitted by all of our students. In the coming month, all of the Conrad Innovator teams will receive their judge feedback from the Conrad Foundation to their team Gmail account.

(Please note the teams are listed in alphabetical order and not ranked by their scores.)
