😘 *Your contest Instructions*:

What is a question you’ve always wanted to ask the world?

As a team, decide on one question that you think would go viral, a thought-provoking question that will get people thinking.

The kind of question that will push humanity forward, and generate an insane variety of answers. (space after this line)

Once your team has decided on THE BEST QUESTION…

Post and Ask the question to as many people as you can within the hour.

You may post the question onto your various social media accounts. Tag schooloffuture_in

You can ask friends, family and teachers individually.

You can preface your question with "Hi, I am competing in a live contest with SOF, and your opinion could help my team and I get close to solving a global problem”

Dear Teams of 15.1

I loved so many thoughts and questions and team collaboration from today.

It was truly a treat to get to know some of your more, and foresee so much more than will come in your next 13 weeks.

THE FIRST WINNER of your FIRST CONTEST is:

Team 2. @persefoni Ioannidou#8156 @Lauramp#9806 @Dimpho#1045 @chongcc917#7705

They truly combined forces, and developed a question that incorporated everyone's ideas.

Their question rendered insanely interested thought, leaving them with a wide range of answers.

And the quantity of answers was the highest among the group.
