IDEATHON
An Ideathon is a short, engaging brainstorming event where individuals from different backgrounds address some of the most pressing challenges of our time. Individuals and students having different skills and interests converge to diagnose predefined problems, identify the best opportunities and ideate the most viable solution.
Here participants throw in their propositions and present them to get feedback and what they should be working on or how they should advance regarding their ideas.
Participants work in teams and utilize design thinking and innovative learning practices to envision and collaborate on possible solutions.
