- When students lead, change follows! Fifteen @bostonschools.boston.gov kicked off the Aspen Challenge earlier this week in Boston.
- At the Challenge Forum, teams of eight students and two coaches received four challenges from local leaders and industry professionals in the areas of social media, generational misconceptions, immigrant education, community violence, and food insecurity.
- Teams will present their projects to a panel of judges in April at the Solutions Showcase. Afterward, one winning team will take its solution all the way to the Aspen Ideas Festival. Challenge accepted!
