Participants will form teams and register by submitting an expression of interest. In this initial submission, teams will outline a local community need or problem they wish to address and explain how their proposed solution contributes to one of the Sustainable Development Goals. Throughout the challenge, teams will receive mentorship from local experts and leaders, who will help them develop and implement viable solutions. The challenge culminates in a live pitch event, where top teams present their projects to a panel of judges and a public audience to compete for funding to bring their ideas to life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d07edeab3d9ed00016d7c17/d499d2e8-17ae-4e6f-8b92-0010d5b741d5/Add+a+heading.png home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d07edeab3d9ed00016d7c17/1629224308037-46KKKJ7UHF671A4PNUH7/image.jpg home - Past Projects https://sustainabledevelopmentchallenge.com/mentors daily 0.75 2021-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d07edeab3d9ed00016d7c17/1561065177913-C69LJXTWSEO6AL63YWWK/image-asset.jpeg Mentors - Become a mentor!
