Deadline to Register for Fels Public Policy Challenge Is November 1

What is it?
Run by the Fels Institute of Government, the Public Policy Challenge is a team-based competition where Penn students passionate about public policy and entrepreneurship come together to develop innovative ideas to improve the city of Philadelphia. The idea can be related to any topic of your team's choice (public health, education, infrastructure, environment, housing, etc.). The Challenge is open to all Penn students, and you can apply as an individual or with preferred teammates.

Why should I do it?
The Challenge is a fantastic opportunity to enhance your network among students and local policy makers, while also refining your ability to develop actionable solutions to real problems.

Do I have to have an idea when I apply?
