This year the Game Changer Challenge had a record number of participants, with nearly 3,000 students embarking on a design thinking journey to solve the 2025 wicked problem.

With nearly 450 video submissions, judges had a very tough task as every team showed great depth in research, creative thinking, and dedication and motivation to driving positive change in our communities.
