Hi Steve,

Hope you are doing well and staying safe.

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.

Universal Music Group - During social distancing, how can technology bring artists and
fans closer together?

How has COVID-19 impacted your education and financial situation?

Our friends at IBM reached out to us to tell us about their new platform Open P-TECH.
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/

Would you please forward my note to students and professors you think might be interested
in these projects and IBM?s new platform?

Feel free to reach out to me (isha at mindsumo.com) if you or your students have any
questions. Hope to see many of your students participate.

Thank you & stay safe,
