πŸ€– What if robotics could help us live longer, healthier and more connected lives?

Open to students and alumni from LSE, Stanford and universities around the world, this collaborative event brings together interdisciplinary teams to explore how robotics can address the challenges and opportunities of longer lives.
Unlike a traditional hackathon, this Ideathon starts with people, not technology. Participants will first focus on understanding a problem worth solving before exploring where robotics can make a meaningful impact.

Over two days, you'll:
βœ… Learn from experts in longevity, robotics and social innovation
βœ… Explore one of four challenge areas focused on real-world issues
βœ… Collaborate with a global, interdisciplinary team
βœ… Develop human-centred ideas with the potential for real impact
