It would be fantastic if you can forward the below email to your students and circulate it in your networks. Project DEFY is starting a new virtual programme based on design thinking to help aspiring students develop and establish new and innovative solutions

<strong>Warm greetings from Project DEFY. We hope you and your loved ones are keeping safe. We have an exciting new opportunity for students who want to get a fresh hands-on learning experience during these times.</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#757575;font-family:Helvetica;line-height:150%;text-align:left">
<strong>Last year we got an overwhelming response to our thingQbator Internship Program (TIP) with more than 1000 applications and about 250 participants! This year we are going bigger with our latest offering- the DEFY Academy for Solution Hacking (DASH).</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#757575;font-family:Helvetica;line-height:150%;text-align:left">
<strong>DASH is an intensive 2-month virtual learning program with two separate tracks. Built on the tenets of Design Thinking, the program will host a cohort of talented minds selected from across the country, and provide them a platform to think, explore,
design, and test their ideas. In DASH, students work with communities, rather than for them, to solve the challenges they choose to take on. </strong></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#757575;font-family:Helvetica;line-height:150%;text-align:left">
<strong>Apart from the guidance of seasoned mentors or experts in their respective fields, which the learners would have access to, they would also be engaging in various workshops, speaker sessions, team activities and group discussions to make the entire
learning experience vivid, colorful and memorable. Students will build with mentoring from experts from MIT, Niti Ayog, Ankur Capital, GEN etc to get advantage of all sides of business!</strong></p>
