Conrad Challenge

The Conrad Foundation is a nonprofit, 501c(3) which focuses on contextual learning, 21st century skills, education, collaboration, innovation and entrepreneurship; and fosters students’ abilities to apply these skills to create a sustainable world for this and future generations. Founded in 2008 by Nancy Conrad, wife of the late Apollo 12 astronaut and third person to walk on the Moon, Pete Conrad, the Conrad Foundation was established to carry on Pete’s legacy of innovation and entrepreneurship. The Conrad Foundation's flagship program, the Conrad Challenge brings together a dynamic community of innovators and entrepreneurs driving a collaborative movement to develop extraordinary and viable solutions to benefit our world in one of four areas: Aerospace & Aviation, Cyber Technology & Security, Energy & Environment and Health & Nutrition. Space Center Houston's Conrad Challenge is supported by Equinor.
