NEUROVENTURE CHALLENGE

This is your chance to explore the intersection of entrepreneurship, innovation, and neuroscience to design ethical, groundbreaking solutions that make a difference.

What to Expect:

• Explore the Brain: Use simple ideas about how the brain works—like how we think, feel, and make decisions—to inspire your design. Show how these insights can make your solution smarter and more user-friendly.

• Think About Impact: Consider how your design could affect people—their privacy, mental health, and daily lives. Focus on creating something that helps others and stays true to ethical values.

• Bring Your Idea to Life: Turn your idea into a prototype or detailed sketch that shows what it does and how it works.

• Share Your Story: Prepare a pitch presentation to explain your idea. Talk about what inspired you, how you used neuroscience, and the impact it will have on your audience.

Whether you’re passionate about neuroscience, love problem-solving, or just want to try something new, the NeuroVenture Challenge is for you.
