Looking for teammates for the 2027 conrad Challenge

Hi! I’m a 17-year-old student , and I’m looking for 1–3 high-school students (ages 15–18) who would be interested in forming a team for the conrad Challenge.

I’m interested in physics , neuroscience, biology, and research, but I’m open to developing an idea in another area too. I’d like to find people who are genuinely interested in building something together and contributing ideas/work.

You don’t need to already have a competition experience — we can brainstorm the idea together.

If you’re interested, just let me know.

• Your age/grade

• Country

• Interests/skills

• Any projects or competitions you’ve done

I need people in business, UI/UX design, python or any coding experience

Hi guys I'm a high schooler from UCVTS. And I need help choosing between DECA and FBLA. So on the one hand UCVTS has the biggest FBLA chapter in NJ and getting leadership by winning at SLC and NLC will look really good and get me that leadership. I am also planning on taking the Intro to IT test because I already have a really great tech background and it helps me farm certificates while studying like ComptiaA+, Cisco Networking etc.(I am not sure how those look for college, but they're pretty good for landing high school internships). However I am not sure if I need another actvity to bolster my pretty substantial tech background.

On the other hand I could join DECA which is a much smaller club in my school however, has better scholarship prizes and I heard is even more competitive and is even considered an international competition. It also aligns with my interests in Entrepenurship and proves I have a second "spike" in entrepeneurship that coincides with my iSTEM summer program, the business I am running. And can help me for when I apply to a summer entrepeneurship program at Rowan for engineering over the summer.

Please help me decide guys, lemme know if you guys need more info. Thanks!

I'm trying to find students for The Unlabel Network (TUN), a student-led community focused on raising awareness and creating support around disability and neurodiversity. But I don't know where to advertise this and I'm having a hard time finding members. If anyone has any advice that would be great.

Can someone pls suggest what kinda Extracurriculars i should do which will also be helpful to build a good portfolio?

im currently in 12th grade right now, preparing for board exams. I've heard that ECs matter a lot especially if u are applying for abroad colleges and unis. would love to see good easy-to-access suggestions
