Farmington High School students named Conrad Innovators in global contest
Throughout an unusual academic year, a group of Farmington High School students have balanced their studies with an eye on invention.
The youths joined the Conrad Challenge, an annual competition that draws teens from around the world to create products or services aimed at addressing complex challenges in areas such as aviation, cyber-technology and the environment.
Some 20 Farmington juniors and seniors recently learned they had advanced in the contest and earned the “Conrad Innovator” distinction. Now they prepare for chances to win scholarships and more at a virtual summit this spring, Farmington Public Schools officials announced last week.
