2022–23 Hackathon
These initiatives task youth with presenting out-of-the-box solutions to address public health challenges impacting the world today. This platform brings together youth's ideas on how today's pressing public health problems can be addressed across diverse local and global settings.
In our inaugural launch, a few selected high schools were given the opportunity to generate solution-based ideas. As we connect youth locally, nationally, and globally, we are beginning to embark on solving public health challenges on a greater scale.
