An opportunity for youth to respond to urgent challenges in their communities.
Born during the COVID-19 crisis, the E-nnovate Together Challenge is a 9-day virtual program during which students work in teams to launch solutions to the most urgent problems faced by society.
The new reality requires an ambitious response.
Because of COVID-19, schools have closed their doors and students have been separated from their friends. We asked ourselves how we could best enable young people to engage in meaningful virtual social interactions while empowering them to take action in the face of the challenges they see in their communities. That is how the E-nnovate Together Challenge was born.

Nine days of learning, connecting and building.
E-nnovate is just as much of a personal challenge as it is a team challenge. Get ready to acquire skills and knowledge that go beyond what you learn in school.

These challenges are urgent. We need all hands on deck.
Here are some challenges that youth have tackled through Ennovate Together.
Education
How might we curate students' learning experience during the COVID-19 crisis given all the online resources made available to parents?
Work
How might companies match employees whose roles have been disrupted by the COVID-19 crisis with new internal opportunities?
Community
How might we connect families with local businesses so they can access essential and non-essential goods while minimizing the risk of contracting COVID-19?
