Description

Solve it! Socials 

Spark Change in Your Community.

Join us in the Start-up Studio for a series of 3 social sessions where students like you can tackle pressing issues facing our local community.

  • Think big: Come prepared with a topic you're passionate about or join a group focused on issues like sustainability, social justice, or community well-being.
  • Brainstorm boldly: Engage in dynamic brainstorming sessions with fellow students, sharing ideas and exploring innovative solutions.
  • Meet a co-founder: Learn more about our Awards Showcase 2025 and apply to win financial support to develop the idea further. 

Take action: Translate your ideas into concrete action plans. Learn from the successful framework of our Business Bootcamp to develop impactful solutions with new friends.

Topics we might cover include: 

  • Community Skills Exchange: Connect residents with skilled students for affordable services (tutoring, gardening, etc.).
  • Sustainable Food Hub: Link local farmers with consumers through markets, delivery, or CSAs.
  • Creative Reuse Centre: Repurpose unwanted items into new creations, reducing waste and fostering community engagement.
  • Mental Wellness Support Network: Offer free or low-cost mental health services like peer support groups and workshops.

Solve it! Socials are your chance to make a real difference and learn the process of turning ideas into business solutions.
