The Challenge
The Challenge is a live pitch competition hosted by the Mensa Foundation. It was created in response to the findings from the Foundation’s Unmet Needs Study, which revealed that many gifted individuals lack consistent access to meaningful intellectual stiumlation and opportiunities to apply their abilities in impactful ways.
Unleash intelligence. Nurture brilliance.
