Accessibility and Practical Implementation: Participants will design practical strategies to make their solutions accessible and feasible within their target communities or organizations. Iterative Improvement for Impact: Using feedback loops, participants will iteratively refine their solutions to enhance effectiveness, scalability, and alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Contribute to the UN SDGs: Participants will understand the UN SDGs and position their solutions to contribute meaningfully towards the achievement of these global goals.
