SDG 4 | Turning Obstacles into Opportunities in Azerbaijan | Khanimnisa Ismayilova, Chetna Gupta, Prayog Mali, & Kim Chouard

Inspiring change makers, one youth at a time...

Welcome back SDG Talkers!! Thanks for joining us for another episode of highlighting change makers and their inspirational work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)!

IN THIS EPISODE:

• How does diversity of minds drive innovative solutions?
• How can gamification be used to mobilize people for action?
• How the Super Girl app helps Azeri female youth overcome stigmas

A huge congrats to the Super Girl app team - one of the top teams in the entire UNLEASH lab and "Most Inclusive Solution" within the SDG 4 Quality Education Track!

We get to chat with team members Khanimnisa Ismayilova, Chetna Gupta, Prayog Mali, & Kim Chouard about their winning idea.

As part of the lab's innovation process, the team had to frame a problem, ideate solutions, create a prototype and test it in just 5 days. Then they pitched their ideas to experts, and the chosen SDG Track Winners (one for each SDG) were sent to the finals.

This dynamic team came up with the Super Girl app as their solution, and was awarded as the "Most Inclusive Solution" among 200 teams! They are currently building a community through the mobile app to enable Azeri high school girls to create awareness, foster engagement, and take action to achieve the SDGs.
