Aim of Reinvent For Good Challenge 2020

 The aim of this competition is to come up with a creative, insightful project that would help youths aged between 13-16 year old become ‘future-ready youths.’

Portfolio of these youths

• Have limited engagement in school volunteering activities
• Have limited experience in leadership positions in CCA or class
• Average to under-performing in terms of academics
• Family with average income
• Have a drive to do better but have a lack of direction or understanding of how to do so

Participation:-

• Participants should be studying/ just graduated from a local or private institution and be between 17 – 26 years old.
• Participants should form teams comprising of 2-4 members, and each participant should register by 24 Oct 2020 at tinyurl.com/reinvent4good2020

Criteria of the Proposed Project:-

 It is important that the proposed project is justified and realistic in nature, with implementation costs kept to a minimum so that more youth can benefit through this project.

• The focus on the project can vary. It could focus on areas of interest with relation to creating ‘future-ready youths’ such as relationship management, risk or stress management, creativity, empathy etc.
• The nature of the projects can also vary. For example, it could be workshop based, arts & crafts-based or even be digital-based such as an app, gaming, AR, 5G etc.
• Concept must be unique/niche and encouraged to be aligned with our MOE’s 21st century curriculum.

These are of course suggestions provided. They are in no way the most perfect, and participants ultimately have the freedom to decide on what they want to focus on and what they want to propose for the best of today’s youth.

Judging Criteria:-

<Submit a proposal about 9 pages for your great idea> in 2 weeks. Those who are shortlisted will need to complete Part 2 of the proposal.

Solution Fit

• To what extent does the proposed solution address the problem statement effectively, supported by extensive research and evidence?

Solution Readiness

• How ready is the proposed solution to go to the market? Is there any evidence to suggest the capacity of the project to scale?

Solution Advantage

• Can the solution be deployed within 3 months and be consequently scaled to tackle social issues at the national level?

Challenge Timeline:-

This competition will take place from 07 October 2020 to 16 January 2021.

Once your team has registered with us, we will send you an official email. After all the projects have been submitted, the first Top 10 teams will be shortlisted.
