A Note


  • This challenge was visualized and launched prior to the recent COVID-19 challenges we are all facing. However, if an idea is deemed as beneficial to alleviating some of the struggles that the virus directly or indirectly is causing, it can move to Rapid Implementation and receive Operational Funding to be utilized quickly.

  • There are no specific requirements for the ideas, all ideas are accepted and judged.

  2. Teams will be formed and mentored in the Virtual BlueCrest/iSpace Lab
