Ideas to Serve is organized by the Institute for Leadership and Social Impact and supports and incentivizes an in-depth discovery of any particular social or environmental issue a student is passionate about. Students who are interested in understanding complex problems and/or involved in community - based grassroots efforts to address such problems but don't have an "innovation" can be part of I2S - strengthening the "serve" component of it.
We are also excited to announce that new this year is our collaboration with the Skoll Center for Social Entrepreneurship at the Said Business School at Oxford. We are partnering with their Map the System Global Challenge. The top team(s) from I2S will represent Georgia Tech at Oxford and compete with teams focused on social impact from top universities around the world.
Participation in the Ideas to Serve Competition fulfills the Final Deliverable requirement for the SLS Innovating for Social Impact Program.
