It is thrilling to experience how people from all walks of life and fields of study can come together and enthusiastically tackle some of the world's most critical challenges. Participants spent 3 intense days collaborating with Local Stakeholders, Teaching Staff, Mentors, and Experts with an unwavering passion, resulting in 36 unique solutions.
A big thank you to all our sponsors which made this program possible, and especially to Western Engineering for hosting the program!
Our in-person Western program brought together 144 participants from many different fields of expertise and from across the Western Campus. Even with such a diverse group of individuals, the common mindset was incredibly apparent; a mindset that we describe as "when working together even a small team of committed individuals can make a positive and lasting impact."
Our wonderful teaching staff was comprised of educators from Western Campus along with former How to Change the World program alumni from around the world! Their role was critical in creating a nurturing environment that empowered all others to effectively collaborate during our 3-day program.
Experienced mentors and local stakeholders provided essential insights to participants to help them understand key areas of the challenge. They also provided critical guidance enabling participants to take their ideas to new heights.
