What is the
BIG IDEA CHALLENGE?
THE BIG IDEA CHALLENGE: An Education Innovation Contest™ provides a jumping-off platform like no other.
No idea is too big or too small – spanning a curriculum tool that strengthens learning for students, a technology concept to boost a school’s infrastructure, a platform to enhance teachers’ efficiency or whatever next great idea can enhance Nevada’s educational landscape.
Prizes
We want to help jumpstart your unique ideas like never before, with up to $500,000 in funding up for grabs to bring winning BIG IDEAS to life. In 2022 three winners were awarded a combined $275,000 in contest funds to take their ideas to the next level – ultimately making a positive impact on Nevada students.
