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:
