To motivate youth with the sense of commitment and common good, the Hult Prize launches, every September, a challenge for MBA and university students all over the world to come up with a problem-solving project on topics ranging from the environment to energy and education.
The 2019 challenge will be to “Provide meaningful work for 10,000 young people within the next decade”.
The competition contains three phases; a first local phase in Rabat at Mohammadia School of Engineering, where the participating teams present their project ideas before a highly qualified jury at an unspecified date. The winner will represent Morocco in the next phase.
A second regional phase which will took place on March in 15 cities around the world including, London, Shanghai, Dubai, San Francisco, Boston.
The final phase will take place in September 2019 at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
Former US President Bill Clinton announces the theme under which the participants will build their projects. He also designates the winner.
Mohammadia School of Engineering had the honor of representing Morocco in its first participation in the Hult Prize.
More than 600 engineers and engineering students forming 23 teams participated in the first local phase, that took place in December 7, 2017.
Of the 23 teams that took up the challenge, 9 finalists were chosen to present their ideas before the jury.
Two teams were chosen to represent Morocco in London and Tunisia, respectively.
Mohammadia School of Engineering, which is Morocco’s only school to compete in the challenge, took up once again this year’s challenge and called on its students to form teams and prepare their project ideas to pitch before a jury on December 13, 2018, in order to choose the team that will represent Morocco in the regional phase.
