Get the Firewatch brief, application link, and a deadline reminder by email. Firewatch is a wildfire innovation challenge for WSU students across all majors, in collaboration with Lockheed Martin Skunk Works®. The challenge weekend is November 6–8, 2026, at the John Bardo Center.

Registering interest is optional and does not count as an application or guarantee acceptance. Apply with a team proposal or a short individual idea pitch by Friday, October 23, 2026, at midnight Central, at the end of Friday. Early ideas are welcome.

One person can register interest for the whole team. Enter your own details first, then choose “I have a team” to add your teammates. Teammates do not need separate interest signups. If you are on your own, enter only your own details. Use the same university email when you apply. Only one proposal is needed per team. Ready now? Apply at wsuinnovationworks.com.
