Thank you to all of the Jr. Innovators who participated in our challenge over the past seven weeks! We hope you learned and had fun while completing our activities.
Sad that the challenge is over? We are, too! That is why Leidos is working on a new campaign for Jr. Innovators (summertime edition). We will be back soon, but in the meantime, we will leave all of the past activities posted here. Who knows, you may even learn something new from completing a challenge a second time. Stay encouraged and continue to learn!

Taking part in the #LeidosJrInnovator contest
You must be between the ages of 5-12 to participate and can live anywhere in the world
Work with your parent or guardian to post your photo to social media. Each week Leidos will create a new Twitter and Facebook post for children across the world to submit their photo in one of two ways:
- Go to the Leidos Twitter or Facebook page. Find this week’s activity post and reply to the post, per the instructions on the activity.
- Post a photo to your personal social media accounts. Follow the instructions of the activity for the caption and be sure to tag @LeidosInc (@Leidos on LinkedIn) and #LeidosJrInnovator. Your post must be public for us to see it.
-
All submissions must be posted NLT 12:00 pm (EST) on the first Sunday after the Monday that the activity is released. (e.g., Monday, April 13th activity must be posted by 12:00 pm Sunday, April 19th )
Each submission should follow the instructions provided on the particular activity for that week. Along with a photo or video, the participant should add their school grade or year to assist with the scoring of the submissions. If submitting a video, please ensure they are no longer than 90 seconds.
By submitting a photo, you agree it may be shared on Leidos social media channels for promotional purposes.
All properly submitted posts will be pooled and reviewed by a Leidos independent selection committee. The committee will score each post in the categories of creativity, organization/neatness, overall appearance, content, and effort/research. Through those scores, the committee will narrow all posts down to five (5) finalists. Those finalists will be posted on all of Leidos’ home page for the challenge. Additionally, the finalists will be posted to the Leidos intranet (accessible to Leidos employees only) and all Leidos employees will vote for their favorite submission. The photo with the most votes will win that week’s grand prize. The winner will be highlighted on Leidos social media channels, and website. Those finalists (i.e., runner-ups) not selected for the weekly grand prize will also win a small prize.
All winners will be contacted by a Leidos representative on the social media where the post was submitted.
If you are a weekly grand prize winner, you will not be eligible for any future weekly grand prizes, however, you are eligible to win runner-up prizes.

All challenges
Just because we've completed the challenge for previous weeks, it doesn't mean you still can't have fun and do them for yourself. We'll post all of the fun activities for our Jr Innovators here as we progress.
