On April 2-4, 2009, the Conrad Foundation will host its Innovation Summit in partnership with NASA Ames Research Laboratory. During the course of this three day event students, educators, and entrepreneurs will participate in a series of presentations, workshops, and judging for the Pete Conrad Spirit of Innovation Awards.
Finalists in the competition from across the country will present their innovative products in the three challenge categories: personal spaceflight, lunar exploration, and renewable energy. Members of the public will be able to help select the most innovative teams by attending their presentations, viewing the student trade show, and voting for their favorite products.
