The Mentors

“The mentor session offered the participants the chance to rethink their pitches, according to invaluable feedback provided by experienced mentors with distinct backgrounds. It was definitely a helpful session that benefited all the projects, as multiple participants reported that the mentors’ input not only helped them to revise their proposals, but also that every single mentor offered different and crucial advice.”

“One of the main parts for the PG Challenge is the showcase at the end of the day, and the mentor session is crucial when thinking about how to structure each groups idea. The mentor session allows each group an opportunity to think and talk through their challenge idea with someone who was able to give substantial feedback.  Each mentor is in a different field and offered vital information for each group that, in the end, significantly impacted their overall idea.  This session was very impressive to watch, and the participants engaged well with the mentors and their comments.”
