Do you have any ideas for a potential solution? No matter how raw, share them with your Mentors for feedback.

A solution we were thinking of is that of a app where you can tell your hobbies/interests and the app will then show groups with similar hobbies/interests. This can help people be more social by connecting with new people.

Ask your Mentor anything …. This is a chance to ask your Mentors a direct question relating to your Big Idea.

I have no question to ask
