Every Drop Counts

Water is one of our most valuable resources. Design a solution that helps your community protect, conserve, or improve access to clean water.

Feed the Future

Healthy food should be accessible to everyone. Explore creative ways to grow, share, or deliver food in your town.

A Place to Call Home

Some of your community members lack access to safe and affordable housing. How might your team create better places for people to live?

Nature Needs You

Healthy forests, parks, and wildlife make communities stronger. How could your idea help protect and restore the natural world?

Move Better

Transportation shapes how people work, play, and connect. How could your idea make getting around easier, safer, or more sustainable?

Healthy Communities

Good health goes beyond hospitals. Explore ways to improve physical health, mental well-being, and everyday quality of life.

Unlock Learning

Learning happens everywhere, not just in classrooms. Imagine new ways to help people discover, grow, and succeed.

Everyone Belongs

Great communities include everyone. Design a solution that removes barriers and helps people feel connected.

Waste Less, Live More

Most things get used once, then forgotten. Rethink how your town uses, shares, repairs, and reuses everyday resources.

Welcome Home

New residents bring new ideas and experiences. Create a solution that helps newcomers feel included and connected.

Celebrate Culture

Arts, traditions, and local stories help communities thrive. Create something that celebrates culture while bringing people together.

Pets Welcome

Pets are part of many families. How could your idea improve life for pets and the people who care for them?

Lost Connection

People can feel alone in a crowded place. Design something that helps your community feel less lonely.

Science for Everyone

Curiosity belongs to everybody. Imagine a way to make science, technology, or discovery part of everyday life.

Time Well Spent

Time is the one thing nobody can buy more of. How could your idea help people get some time back?

What We Wear

Clothing is expensive, wasteful, and deeply personal. How could your idea change the way your community dresses?

Green Jobs

New industries need new workers. Imagine a business that creates work while helping the environment.

Everyday Essentials

Clean water, soap, and a safe place to wash are not luxuries. Design a solution that makes the basics available to everyone.

Women Thriving

When women and girls do well, the whole town does too. Create something that helps them thrive.

Still Good

Perfectly good food gets thrown out every single day. How could your idea rescue what's still worth eating?

Wild Things

Some animals are worth far more alive than sold. How could your idea help protect the wildlife around your town?

Why fictional towns?

The learning design behind the imaginary setting, and why permission to be wrong is where creative risk begins.

Read the rationale

Need another pack?

One pack runs up to 5 teams at once, 15 to 25 participants, with towns to spare for second rounds and town-swapping Wildcards. Schools and organizations can order by purchase order or invoice.
