Tackle the biggest problems facing our Health sector and win cash prizes!
The Future of Health Challenge is an opportunity for all tertiary students in Canterbury to tackle the biggest problems facing our Health sector. Te Papa Hauora is looking for innovative solutions they can implement - this is your chance to have a real impact! No experience or idea is required to take part.
Also supported by Pegasus Health, the Challenge lets you engage with some of the biggest problems facing the Health Sector in Canterbury and New Zealand. During the weekend of the Challenge, you will work with a multidisciplinary team of students from across the region to tackle one of the Challenge questions set out by Te Papa Hauora Health Precinct, which will be revealed at the launch event.
Throughout the Challenge, you will enjoy amazing泭free food泭and will get coaching from UCE staff as well as mentoring and input from health sector experts! At the end of the Challenge, your team will pitch your concept to a panel of judges and Health experts. The winning teams will take home part of a泭$3,000 cash prize pool as well as some additional prize from Pegasus Health!
It is the perfect opportunity for you to meet new people, hone your skills, build your CV, experience some new ways of working and泭have a real impact in the world!
