We refer to these invitations--these calls-to-action--as ''Moonshots''. Rather than engaging the network in working together on one solution at a time, each Moonshot invites multiple solutions to the challenges and opportunities that stand between where we are now and where our goals push us to be. | ||
=== Our Current Moonshots === | |||
Our Moonshots are listed here with related documents found [http://bit.ly/HiveChiChallengeGDrive/ here]: | |||
* Hive Teen Council: | |||
:Hive Chicago will generate and pilot digital portals to activate and channel teen feedback, teen-to-teen communication and ambassadorship. Additionally, teens will be engaged in the illumination and building of learning pathways across organizations and existing pathway projects. | |||
