Problems That Matter
Have a problem that you want to solve?
How do you make sure you're addressing the right problem? Who needs it solved? Who else is tackling this problem?
Problems that Matter is a fast-paced, cross-functional, creative, human-centered event to deep dive into an issue you really care about solving.
This 10-hour Sprint gives you time and guidance to create a thorough pitch deck.
If you don’t have an idea yet but want to be part of a dynamic group, come and join a team during the event!
Teams ready to pitch ideas on Saturday afternoon will be competing for cash prizes!
