<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">We have a couple of exciting challenges up on MindSumo for your students to solve while they take classes from home. Two of the challenges are specific to Covid19.
<br>
<br>
<b>Universal Music Group - During social distancing, how can technology bring artists and fans closer together?</b><br>
https://www.mindsumo.com/contests/umgcovid19<br>
<br>
<b>How has COVID-19 impacted your education and financial situation?</b> <br>
https://www.mindsumo.com/contests/covid-impacts-on-students<br>
<br>
Our friends at <b>IBM</b> reached out to us to tell us about their new platform <b>
Open P-TECH</b>. Students can take free online classes in things like block chain, design thinking, AI amongst others. You can review it here: https://www.ptech.org/open-p-tech/<br>
<br>
Would you please forward my note to students and professors you think might be interested in these projects and IBM’s new platform?
<br>
<br>
Feel free to reach out to me (isha@mindsumo.com) if you or your students have any questions. Hope to see many of your students participate.<br>
<br>
Thank you & stay safe, <br>
