E-lab Challenges - Our innovative thinking.
We took on six challenges as a Think Tank group, giving us a taste of real-world situations, a bit of complexity, and plenty of chances to think outside the box.
Challenge 1: Elevator Pitch
In Challenge One, we each created a quick elevator pitch sharing our name, country, interests, a fun fact, and what we bring to the team. Together, we also defined our collective goals for the E-lab experience, helping us connect and align as a team from the start.

We successfully covered the insurance costs for two families near our school, and we felt proud about making a positive impact in our community.
