2026 “What If?” Challenge

Kids

Kick-Off Event: Sept 19

Submission Window: Sept 19 - Oct 22

"What If?" ChallengeCalling all big thinkers ages 6 to 18. Your community wants to see your ideas!

The “What If?” Challenge is a creative contest that invites young people to dream up bold solutions to real-world questions, then share them with the community. This year, it’s all about how we move.

What if you could redesign how people get around your community? Flying buses? Bike paths that glow? A train that connects every neighborhood? This year’s “What If?” Challenge invites young people across South Florida to reimagine transportation and mobility, then bring their boldest ideas to life.

There are no wrong answers here. Just your imagination and the question:

“What if you could redesign how people get around your community? What would you create to make it easier, faster, or bring people closer together?”

Why Enter?
  • It’s free. Everyone ages 6 to 18 in South Florida can join, there’s no cost to enter.
  • It’s easy. Bring an idea, big or small, and we’ll guide you through the rest.
  • It’s yours. Solve a problem you see every day, your way.
How It Works

Dream up your idea, then show us how it works. From colorful sketches and collages to digital renderings, models, or videos, there’s no single right way to bring your vision to life. Dream without limits, then share what a community that moves better looks like to you.

Why It Matters

As the greatest creatives in our community, young people see possibilities the rest of us miss. The “What If?” Challenge shows kids that their ideas hold real value, gives them the confidence to present them, and offers the chance to see their vision come to life.
