COLLABORATE & INNOVATE TO TACKLE THE CLIMATE CRISIS 
Working in teams, you will have 48 hours to work with students across the world to create a new product or service to solve a climate change issue. You will share knowledge, learn something new, create friendships, and nurture innovation and entrepreneurship skills and mindsets.
