Decoding Animal Gestures
Many animals communicate through gestures, but our understanding of these signals is limited. Translation of animal body language could transform research, conservation, robotics, and pet care. However, making this a reality presents significant challenges.
Inclusive Product Design
Unconscious bias in the design process can lead to products that exclude or even harm certain users. From research to development, bias impacts usability and accessibility.
The Open Challenge
This challenge invites you to tackle global environmental, social, and economic issues using the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals as a framework. Use your creativity to develop solutions that promote sustainability and equity.
Harnessing New Technologies to Improve Human Health
Emerging technologies like AI diagnostics and digital health are transforming disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. While promising, challenges remain in data validation, ethics, and global accessibility. Ensuring these innovations are effective, safe, and equitable is key to delivering real patient value.
Clean and Affordable Drinking Water for All
Many communities lack access to clean water due to contamination from various sources. Providing a sustainable solution poses a challenge due to resources and exposure to formal education being limited for these people.
Reimagining Past Technologies for the Future
Traditional technologies like wind-powered sails, passive cooling, and mechanical pumps were replaced by fossil fuel-based innovations. By integrating modern materials, smart controls, and digital optimization, these time-tested solutions could be revived to create more sustainable and efficient alternatives for today’s challenges.
