Every innovation
begins with
curiosity.
RiTX 2026 is a national innovation challenge that invites school students to work on the world outside the classroom.
Pick a challenge, find a genuine problem in your school, home, or community, dig into why it happens, and either present what you discover or build a solution.
It isn't about the flashiest gadget — it's about truly understanding a problem and doing something meaningful about it.
Sustainability
Smarter, Greener, Cleaner
Investigate a real environmental problem in your community — and prove why it matters.
Health & Hygiene
Better Everyday Living
Find a real gap in health, hygiene or well-being — and design a way to close it.
The Open Arena
Build It, Any Field
Take a real problem in any field and create an original solution.
Present your work
