Solution: Finding a challenge

(upbeat music) - How did you find the challenge? As always, there's no right or wrong answers but the example that I came up with was a group called Random Hacks of Kindness. So basically what they do is they meet up on the weekends in the city and they work with a not-for-profit on a different data or technical problem. So they find different programmers, engineers, and analysts, get them all in the same room, and get them to work on that problem over the weekend. There were a lot of other groups like this, not just locally, but across the world. If you're interested in these types of projects, you should be able to find one in your local city.
