Tackle the Spark Track Challenge!
Do you want to enter the Idea and Innovation Challenge?
Applications are now open for the 2026 Idea and Innovation Challenge!
What if you'd like to enter (and win up to $800!) but don't have an idea yet? Well, then you could tackle the Spark Track Challenge for this year...
Here's the Challenge:
- Nearly one in five Baltimore City students does not graduate from high school on time.
- While many factors contribute to this challenge, one is especially important: too many students struggle to see a meaningful connection between what they're learning today and the opportunities available to them tomorrow. How can we help Baltimore City students discover opportunities, purpose, and pathways that inspire them to stay engaged through graduation?
Your solution may take the form of a business, nonprofit, product, service, educational initiative, technology, community program, or another innovative concept.Enter your idea in the Idea and Innovation Challenge: Spark Track and win up to $800!
