Solveathon workshops are highly interactive design workshops aimed at developing and improving great solutions to global challenges.

This event will be led by MIT Solve staff and trained facilitators to focus on generating new ideas through the design thinking process in response to Solve’s Global Challenges:

No prior expertise is needed to join! We welcome a diversity of backgrounds and experience levels. Everyone has their own passions and skills to bring to the table and can build on one another’s ideas. This will also be an opportunity for you to learn how to more effectively co-create and innovate in a virtual space. Come push boundaries with us, gain new insights, and have fun!
