Challenge description
You are a Self-Managing/ autonomous Team. Your task is to discuss, select and work on a climate change problem from the suggestions provided.
You have approximately 6 hours to select a climate change problem, develop an innovative solution – backed-up with a ‘Crunch Canvas’ style operational plan, create and shoot a Crowdfunding video and create and present a Pecha Kucha pitch.
The task will require you to work through useful tools and processes that will help to:
- structure the explorations and research on your chosen issue and to ‘drill down’ to the ‘real’ problem
- brainstorm potential products, services, initiatives or platform solutions
- select your best/ favourite idea
- to create a ‘Crunch Canvas’ to look in detail at your developed/proposed solution’s Feasibility – Viability – Desirability and Sustainability
- Create a 1 minute Crowdfunding Video, using a smart phone

You will be supported, throughout the period, by a team of expert facilitators
Challenge vision
The Climathon is an Innovation Design-Sprint challenge, where although time is short, new ways of thinking and doing, will out. Multi-disciplinary teams, select a Climate Change problem to work on and through positive collaboration, new ideas are explored that create innovative and usable products, services, initiatives and platforms, that provide solutions. These solutions are pecha kucha pitched at the end of the time allocation, supported with a crowdfunding video. These innovative ideas will be uploaded to the Climathon.climate-kic.org website database, for sharing and adoption or ‘crunched’ ideas may be taken forward as start-up ideas, here in Bangor.
