Our Hackathons are a one-of-a-kind event where entrepreneurial students unite to tackle a social challenge. During these day long events, representatives from local government or other institutions will present a large social challenge to the attendees.
After learning from experts about the challenge, they will be prepped with the fundamentals of the problem solving process and must connect with individuals that can complement or supplement the group skill-sets while learning to.
“I feel more confident because I know there are like-minded people my age who are trying to make a change.”
Our process is all about allowing students to develop something new.
This is achieved by:
Educating about the problem solving process
Helping students to identify problems
Developing a solution and testing against feedback
Creating a market ready plan
“I feel that I have developed my skills in collaboration and realizing the importance of diverse perspectives, which will help me greatly in the long run.”
“Of course. It made me feel more confident in being an innovator by creating a solution to a difficult problem with my team.”
“This event has helped me think of new, different ways to approach a situation which has helped me become a more confident entrepreneur.”
