Voting Begins for Conrad Spirit of Innovation Awards

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

A quick note from our Executive Director, Loretta Whitesides:

21 top high school teams have been designing the future. Here, education meets innovation and entrepreneurship, and real science gets real. Teams have created innovative products to solve some of the grand challenges facing society.

Now, they need YOU to help select the winners of the Spirit of Innovation Awards by voting online for your favorite teams. FROM MARCH 29 TO APRIL 9, you can change the world, one vote at a time. Check out www.conradawards.org for more information on all of the teams (watch the awesome videos that they produced to share their ideas with the world), their products, and to submit your vote!

The Conrad Awards are a partner of Yuri’s Night, and will be hosting their awards event the day before Yuri’s Night Bay Area out at NASA Ames. (For more information or tickets on YNBA, go to www.ynba.org!) If Yuri’s Night sends the most voters to their website, we will win a handsome sponsorship package of next year’s event! So support the student innovators, support Apollo astronaut Pete Conrad’s Foundation, and support Yuri’s Night by going to www.conradawards.org and voting today!

All the best,

Loretta
