Nano Challenges
Even in small efforts to create, connect and have fun there is the realization that we can make a difference.
Every effort to create light is a victory.
Nano challenges are quick, fun, and meaningful ways for groups and individuals to connect, explore, and create quick victories. There are alot of existing nano challenges that you can join, or you can create your own. Here are some nano challenges to get you started. Nano challenges can help you evolve your questioning process by looking at what and how others process and make things. These are fun and doable daily challenges that will improve your engagement, expand your investigative skills, and get you doing something and sharing it. Make sure you share your process and products using #silverliningchallenge.
