1. The Multi-Branch "-Thon": Where Innovation Meets Action
Our Multi-Branch "-Thons" are high-energy, competitive events designed to challenge you to solve a real-world problem in a compressed timeframe. Moving beyond generic statements, our challenges are sourced from a diverse network of professors, industry leaders, government departments, and NGOs.
These are not just contests; they are intense, collaborative experiences where you apply your theoretical knowledge in an interdisciplinary team. You will innovate under pressure to create a tangible solution—whether it's a research report, a policy brief, a data model, or a functional prototype. This validated solution becomes a powerful, verified entry in your Skillsaac Proof-of-Work (PoW) Portfolio, proving your ability to deliver real-world results. It's the ultimate way to showcase your talent, gain recognition from experts, and create a credential that truly stands out to recruiters.
