Create a solution that encourages teenagers to build healthier daily habits.

Teenagers know what healthy habits look like but struggle to stick with them against screens, stress and social pressure.

Real-world context

Teenagers know what healthy habits look like but struggle to stick with them against screens, stress and social pressure. Lectures don't work — motivation and identity do.

The challenge

Create a solution that encourages teenagers to build healthier daily habits. Study who is affected, dig past the obvious symptoms to the real root causes, and design a solution that could actually work in the real world. There is no single correct answer — what matters is the quality of your thinking, the stakeholders you consider, and how clearly you justify your chosen direction.

Reflection prompts

  • Who is most affected by this problem, and how did you account for them?
  • What is the single biggest risk to your solution working?
  • Which assumption, if wrong, would break your whole idea?
