How might we use AI to improve water supply and management?

How might we use blockchain to improve energy management of the future?

How might we use AR/VR technology to create sustainable education opportunities?

What is a Design Challenge?

This Design Challenge is a topic-centric problem-solving challenge using Design Thinking strategies. Diversified, focused teams with both technical and non-technical skills spend time investing in exploration and empathy building.

Referencing a problem statement – not too broad, not too narrow – teams compete to develop unique insights during the challenge while creating low-fidelity prototypes like sketches, journey maps, or business models.
