The Challenge
Welcome to the First Challenge of Your Learning Journey!
This is the first of three challenges you’ll encounter along the way, designed to help you put your knowledge into practice with a real-world twist. Here’s how it works:
Your Mission: You’ll receive (1) a Context or scenario to analyze and understand; (2) a Role and a Mission: This defines your challenge—a set of tasks to tackle using the Context you’ve been given; (3) Guiding Questions, Suggested Approaches, and Helpful Documents: These resources will help you break down the problem and craft your solutions.
The Twist: There’s no single “right” way to solve this challenge. We encourage you to think creatively and engage with your peers throughout the process. Use Alan (a.k.a. The Discussion Forum) to: Collaborate and brainstorm solutions; Get inspired by others’ perspectives; Offer your insights and help others grow. Teamwork isn’t mandatory, but great ideas often come from collaboration!
How to complete the challenge:
- Analyze and Solve: Download this Zip and work thourgh the challenge using the resources provided.
- Discuss and Reflect: Share your ideas and solutions with peers for feedback and inspiration via Alan (a.ka. Discussion Forum). Talk to Alan
- Self-Evaluate: Complete our brief checklist (similar to a quiz but it’s not) to evaluate your work and get some hints. After submitting the checklist, receive our proposed solutions to compare with your findings. Go to the Checklist
No Pressure, Just Practice
This challenge is not mandatory, and you won’t be graded on it. It’s a chance to apply what you’ve learned in a realistic setting and sharpen your problem-solving skills.
