Uses for Innovation Challenge® Platform
For Employees - Creativity Supports Mental Health
Did you know creativity is therapeutic, relieves stress, and enhances mood and cognitive functions?
Activate your employees to practice real-world innovation, in a structured 30-day experience designed to foster a safe environment for experimentation and learning. Participants will form their teams, receive a strategic Innovation Challenge® question, attend an “Ask Me Anything” session with the Executive sponsor, and have ten (10) days to create a new product, service, strategy, or business model.
The Deliverable: A short 2-page Concept Plan and upload a 99-second video pitch. The Innovation Challenge® Experience empowers employees to think creatively and collaboratively and challenges them to get out of their usual comfort zones.
For Students - Active Learning Outperforms Passive Learning

Active learning enhances retention: Students who engage in activities like self-testing and problem-solving retain information longer and recall it more accurately.
It boosts academic performance: Active learning environments have been shown to improve test scores and reduce failure rates by up to 30%.
It develops critical thinking: Through problem-based learning, students analyze, synthesize, and apply knowledge, fostering deep understanding.
It increases engagement and motivation: Students in active learning settings are more interested and motivated, leading to a more enjoyable and productive educational experience.
It applies knowledge to real-world scenarios: Active learning prepares students to transfer classroom knowledge to practical, real-world situations, making them more adaptable and problem-solving oriented.
