The captured calendar sets business-plan training on September 30, 2025, plan submission on November 16, 2025, finalist notice on November 25, 2025, and finalist pitches in December 2025. The exact December day was truncated in the capture, so the recorded activity date is 2025-11-16, the last fully dated deadline.

The program page says South Dakota Mines, Black Hills State, Western Dakota Tech, National American University, Chadron State, and West River high-school students are eligible, and that one team member must be a full-time student at Mines or another participating institution. A later news release says the competition is open to South Dakota high schools and higher-education institutions.
