The Innoventure High School Challenge is a competitive event open to all high school students throughout New Mexico and the El Paso, Texas, area.

Think like an entrepreneur and design a simple prototype out of an approved list of materials – all in a two-week timeframe that challenges you to put your team’s ideas to the test quickly and create an innovative product.

Winners will be awarded prizes for each round.

• With support from a teacher, parent or other adult serving as your advisor, form a team of 2-5 high school students. We’ll provide a PDF toolkit with milestones to help you think through your product’s design and your business plan. We’ll also provide a list of the materials you can use to build your prototype.
• Start by registering your team and your advisor by clicking on the links on this page. You’ll receive your toolkit and information on the theme on the first date of each round.
• To compete in each round, participating teams will submit a link to a video that demonstrates their prototype, explains the value added by the product, identifies their target market and a price for the product, describes distribution modes for product, and outlines how the product will be promoted. Additionally, participants will design a logo for their company.
• Winners will be determined for each round and will receive tech prizes.
• Teams that have not already won a round can participate again in a subsequent round. Winning teams can enter new rounds but will not be able to win rounds back-to-back.

• Videos longer than 5 minutes in length will not be accepted.
• Each video will be scored based on a rubric.
• A winner will be determined for each round.
• Teams that have not already won a round can participate again in a subsequent round. If a team wins a round and advances, they are not eligible to compete in a later round.
