Visit Challenge.gov where you'll find a listing of contests and challenges where you can share your ideas and solve problems together with your government - and win prizes!
Some contests require specific knowledge and skill sets, like NASA's Centennial Challenge for super-strong materials. If you can create a tether that exceeds the strength of the best available commercial tether by 50 percent with no increase in mass, you could win the $2 million prize.
Are the arts more your thing? Create orginial music, a video, or try the National Natural Landmarks Program Photo Contest.
If you're a programming wiz, create an app.
Maybe you just have some great ideas to make improvements - there are contests for ideas as well.
Check it out, enter a contest and win a prize!
