The Conrad Challenge Junior Hackathon is a free two day virtual event that will introduce students to entrepreneurship and innovation. Students (ages 10-14, located in the United States) will work in teams of 2-5 to solve a real world problem and create a mockup of their innovation. Students will gain exposure to the Conrad Challenge including specialized workshops in business and product design, mentoring from Conrad Challenge high school entrepreneurs, and feedback from expert judges. No coding experience is necessary to participate. Beyond the unique learning experience, students will meet fellow innovators from across the country on our digital forums and during community building events!
The event will be entirely virtual and will take place on Discord and Hopin on September 25th and 26th. The event is hosted on the digital event platform, Hopin. Other platforms such as Discord will also be utilized during the event.
