Innovation Challenge!

Married to the 3rd man to land on the moon, Nancy Conrad has started the Spirit of Innovation Competition in his honor. The challenge forces you to use systems thinking. Nancy wondered why high school students couldn't do amazing things. So the competition allows students to create innovative products as a team to better humanity. The team that won this year was actually from NC, they created an air-quality detector. This device could detect the ozone in the air. Ozone's presence can actually increase the chance for death through lung inflammation. Tahoma is a school that is so far advanced in sustainability and systems thinking that this challenge is something that we could take on!
