The Challenge Is Underway!
Follow @makeimpactconsortium for updates!
Challenge participants can log into Canvas,
our learning management system, so begin their work!
Challenge Dates: 30 March 2022 – 12 May 2022
Challenge Theme
This challenge will begin on Wednesday, 30 March 2022 and run six weeks until 12 May 2022. It is open to all current Make Impact Consortium students!
The theme for this challenge will be sustainability. We’re asking Make Impact Consortium school students, on campuses around the world, to find ways to apply the UN Sustainable Development Goals to problems and opportunities they see on their campuses. Teams of 4-6 students will design a device that helps address a local sustainability problem related to clean energy, clean water usage/access or product lifecycle
The Make Impact Challenge provides opportunities for students to work in a global context to share, learn, and inspire one another. And participant students will Make Impact on their campuses.
