Every Saturday, SSI will host a weekend challenge event. All five of the events are inspired by challenge events typically hosted by colleges or university recruiters at companies. SSI hopes that by exposing students early on to pitch competitions, consulting studies, and various technical challenges, students will have an opportunity to explore different types of work and perhaps discover new interests at a far earlier age. Students will work in teams to tackle each challenge, and SSI will help students of the program connect to others to team up with.
