This document outlines the process and activities for a challenge to develop solutions that create impact. It involves defining problems, ideating concepts, testing feasibility, and delivering solutions through converging and diverging phases. Participants are guided to define target users, partners, and scope of impact. The process focuses on understanding needs, benefits, resources, and touchpoints through user research. It aims to develop solutions in collaboration with partners and users to maximize real-world impact.
