Tabling Events: Tabling Events are a great way to raise awareness about the Hult Prize. Setting up informational tables in high-traffic areas allows organizers to engage with students, answer questions, and distribute promotional materials. These events can also include interactive elements, such as mini-games or challenges, to attract attention and generate interest.
Info Sessions: Info Sessions are designed to provide detailed information about the Hult Prize, its mission, and the opportunities it offers. These sessions can help potential participants understand the competition's requirements, timelines, and benefits. By clearly communicating the goals and expectations, info sessions ensure that all teams are well-prepared and motivated to participate.
Training Programs: Training Programs will prepare your teams and give them the confidence they need to succeed in their ideas. These training sessions can include peer feedback sessions, sharing knowledge and know-how from experts in the field, as well as 1-1 mentorship.
