Conrad Spirit of Innovation Awards

[msimon785]

Hi Everyone!
I would like to introduce the FIRST community to the Conrad Spirit of Innovation Awards (many of us are already involved). They challenge teams to come up with an idea that innovates one of three fields: Aerospace Engineering, Clean Energy, Cyber Security. This year's challenge is currently in the voting stage, so it's too late to enter now, but I humbly ask that you vote for our teams.

Team RSquared in the cyber security division (Team #1515) has developed a smartphone app entitled Dependable Ride which can be used to ask someone you know, be it a friend, relative, or anyone you know for a ride. This has numerous applications, including getting out of a bad situation.

Team STAR in the Aerospace Engineering division (Team 1836) invented a new, innovative style of glasses for use in space.

You can all vote at:

and, make sure to check their website to enter next year.

Awesome, it's nice to see other FIRST teams competing in this competition. Team 842 won last year. We'll be rooting for you guys.

Its nice to see more FIRST teams entering this. Team 1836 has had at least one team (sometimes its been more) win every year that this competition has been around.

Voted. It's good seeing FIRST teams involved in things other than the FIRST build/competition season.
