So, What is Let's Get Real?

An International Academic Competition

Let's Get Real™ is an academic competition and an opportunity for teams of students to gain experience working on real business challenges. Corporate sponsors supply real challenges for which teams submit solutions in business format. Each team chooses from the list of challenges the one(s) it finds most interesting. Challenges might include areas such as environmental issues, manufacturing, distribution, engineering, software creation, human resources, health and safety, facilities design, public relations, or any other areas deemed important to the corporations involved.  There is NO entry fee for teams.

Mission Statement

Let's Get Real™ seeks to provide all students with opportunities to reach their full potential through innovative and creative educational activities. In working to establish non-traditional, "out of the box" opportunities we are addressing student transition from the four walls of the classroom to the realities of corporate America. In addition, we are putting corporate America in touch with an untapped resource for solving problems with which they are faced.

 Let's Get Real™ is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation.
