Got a “what if?”
Let’s see where it goes.
Come on your own or gather a team of up to 6 classmates, and bring your curiosity. Your next chapter can start with one little idea.
THE POSSIBILITY PLAYGROUNDPick a question.
Pick a question.
Start a revolution.
Every breakthrough began with a student who wondered why things work the way they do. Choose one of the five themes below, read its problem statement and follow your curiosity somewhere new.
PROBLEM STATEMENT · HEALTHCAREGood health depends on timely care, reliable information and support for both body and mind. Many people, especially the most vulnerable, still struggle to access these. Find a health or wellbeing challenge and design a solution that helps people live healthier lives.
Pick one theme and build your idea around its problem statement.
