T-20 Minutes to Our Design Thinking Workshop + RUBRIC ALERT!!

Gooood morning/ evening/ night/ day to all!! Reminder that we've got our first workshop of CCM starting in T-25 MINUTES on DESIGN THINKING, specifically @ 8 AM EST = 1 PM GMT = 6:30 PM IST.

ZOOM LINK HERE, same for all our workshops... Excited to be joined by incredible youth innovator, YIC alumni & multiple time founder, the brilliant Thivya Jeyapalan. You'll get some advice on ideation, learn about some core concepts behind design thinking & engage in exercises. Check it out!

As well... RUBRIC ALERT!! Directly related to the concepts Thivya & our other guest speakers will cover, please find here our CCM 2025 RUBRIC.... One reflection: Notice that it isn't just about solution solution solution, but rather about taking a holistic approach in deveoping & delivering  your proposal, centered on a strong understanding of your problem (DO STAKEHOLDER RESEARCH FOLKS <- Cannot emphasize this enough, it's a massive differentiator), an awareness of other solutions (i.e. the ecosystem of folks working on that same problem), your thinking about team & gaps, those four lenses mentioned on Devpost & our opening on, and yes, the solution is still a part of it.

Hope that makes sense, reach out if you need, see y'all in 20 minutes :)
