Looking back at our inaugural year.
2020 Competition
2020 was a year filled with great ideas!
With over 180 applications, more than 30 semi-finalists, and a rigorous competition among our top 7 teams—2020's competition inspired us.
We were stunned by all of the great ideas, and engaged young people, that we came face to face with. In the end, choosing a winner was very difficult.
We're excited to see all of these young change-makers flourish in the future.
Here are some issues we saw participants tackle last year:
-
Develop a mental health app or website for youth
