As discussed in the Course Overview, the goal of this course is to challenge students to develop business-driven solutions to important social issues. Thus, one of the first tasks will be to form teams and select a social issue to address. In preparation for your first assignment (CPA #1), you should review the Portfolio sites from previous quarters to see the type of Challenge projects that were done by student teams. This review will give you a good idea of the type of issues and projects that have been done before.
