“Brett empowered our students to seek opportunities where they can make change and help others, as well as to look beyond the standard approach to problem solving. The talk he gave was an inspiring and stimulating way to kick off our event. Brett also took time to connect with individuals throughout the two-day Design-Athon, inquiring about their design ideas and encouraging them to push forward or look at their ideas from different perspectives.”
