Lowkey Lab
A bright idea brought to light

Lowekey Lab aims to empower high school students with coding and entrepreneurship skills and enhance their interests in technology. Their mission is to connect the best ideas, talent and resources across sectors to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs, app developers, engineers and innovators
ReWired Fest has teamed up with Lowekey Lab to host a High School pitch competition in which students are given the opportunity to pitch their tech or mobile-app concepts to a panel of judges. Tech and app ideas can cater to the needs of any industry/sector or add value to any current business area. The selection process will consist of an online application, video submission and a round of interviews. These reviewers will narrow down applicants to the top 3 finalists. Teams can consist of up to 4 team members.
A total of 3 finalists will be selected to present their live pitch session during ReWired Fest. One grand prize winner will be selected. All finalists will be rewarded a $1,000 cash prize. The grand prize winning team will win the opportunity to have their concept incubated by Lowekey Lab and a $2,000 grand prize. Winners will be selected by a panel of diverse and accomplished national entrepreneurs and judged on the same criteria as their online applications.
