"If you can't be good, be colorful." -Pete Conrad This was Pete's motto, and it applied well to the crew of Apollo 12. Learn more about the second crewed mission to the moon from Pete Conrad's wife Nancy. @ConradChallenge youtu.be/zT_1wVqa_B4

Back in May, our Moonwalker Capsule rode to space on board New Shepard, @blueorigin's suborbital reusable rocket. It contained all 2018-2019 submissions, as well as stories and photos from past Conrad Innovators. The Capsule exhibit is now being displayed at @museumofflight!

Interested in the Conrad Challenge for 2020 but concerned about the dates from 2019? Contact us today and get into the conversation! Key dates for 2020 to be released, very soon!

@ConradChallenge @soundtrap One of the best groups, presentations and ideas from the 2019 Summit! Glad to see that the team is developing their innovation! #ConradChallenge

When students are given opportunities to collaborate, they are given opportunities to prepare for the workforce. Listen to the 2018-2019 Pete Conrad Scholars talk about their experience with the Challenge in this @soundtrap #BestofISTE podcast episode: spoti.fi/2JOlGgB
