Today, the Warnock Foundation launched the Baltimore High School Innovation Challenge.

 

The challenge asks high school students to innovate for Baltimore. Each Baltimore City Public Schools high school forms a team, comes up with an idea that will benefit its community, and submits that idea online. Semi-finalists will receive funding to create a pitch for their idea, and will compete in front of a panel of judges. The winning team will receive a $5,000 grant for their school, and their idea will be published in Volume 3 of the Warnock Foundation’s Baltimore Social Innovation Journal.
