About this event
IDEA CHALLENGE
Your mission is to use your creativity and critical thinking to solve a challenge set by us. You’ll be assigned to a team in advance and by the end of the afternoon, you’ll present a short video pitch and show us how you’d solve the challenge. It’s the perfect way to get to know your fellow E-Lab students and see first-hand how innovation and entrepreneurship work together. And as an extra incentive, we’ll be awarding prizes for the best idea and best pitch.

FAQs
When will I find out who my team members are?
As this is an in person event, you will meet your fellow challengers and make a team on the day.
What if I don’t like my team members?
As you will be creating your teams, we hope this won’t happen. Part of the afternoon is also about learning to work with new and different people so we hope that even if you hit a rough patch you’ll be able to work through it with your team.
If you really take exception to your team mates and absolutely cannot work with them, then please get in touch with an organiser and we will do our best to place you in an alternative team.
Is my ticket transferrable?
No, if you can’t attend, please request a refund and cancel your ticket. This will allow someone else to register.
For the event to work at its best it is really important that the person identified on the ticket is also the person who attends.
