Questions to Guide

Your Research

Below are slides that contain questions that should help you discover specific and unique problems in your chosen category to solve.

Hint

  • Make sure your problem is specific: For example, Climate Change is too broad, but ‘a more efficient use of air conditioners’ is more specific
  • Try to identify a unique problem: For example, solving the problem of garbage (in the land or ocean) is something that has been submitted to Microsoft Imagine Cup Junior too many times. Very few make it to the finals.
