Unsure about signing up for the Brewed IdeasChallenge? READ THIS "Participating in the Brewed Ideas Challenge was one ofthe best strategic decisions I’ve ever made. Last year, Ientered the competition to earn money for a hands-on,plastic recycling workspace called Revive. While preparingfor the pitch, my mentor and I spent time diving into howto frame the problem and why my solution would beworth investing in. The entire process helped refine asimple idea into a tangible solution to Marquette’srecycling problems. In addition to walking away with somefunding for the project, I had a more concrete plan for thefuture and the confidence needed to make it happen."
