Brilliant Labs and its partners are looking for high school students in the Maritime Provinces to pitch their ideas for a new product or service in the Superpower Challenge.

Several student teams or individuals from each participating province will win financial and mentor support worth as much as $5,000 to help them develop their idea into a working prototype or service.

Students are asked to propose innovative solutions to real-world problems -- and the solutions must include the use of technology. They must research a problem and develop a proposal to solve it in one of four categories: Our Community, Our People, Our Environment, Our Style. The proposal should include information on who their solution will help, what the desired outcome will be, and how they will measure their success.

The Student Superpower Challenge is a bilingual entrepreneurial competition for Maritime high school students. Students must submit their ideas here before February 26. The Superpower Challenge judges will review all the proposals and announce 10 finalists. These 10 finalists will Pitch Their Ideas on April 5.

Brilliant Labs is an initiative to encourage technical education in public schools in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
