Masterclasses: Develop your skills

The Sustainability Startathon Masterclass is an integral part of the entire program. The purpose of the Masterclass is to enhance the knowledge and skills of our contestants in order to excel in tackling the problem statements, in producing quality and impactful solutions as an effective team, as well as delivering your solutions in a professional and inspiring manner.

Before any teams can successfully submit their Solutions for judging, ALL team members MUST complete the MANDATORY COURSES of the Masterclass program and achieve at least 80% score in each of the courses. Failure to complete mandatory courses will result in disqualification.

Contestants are strongly encouraged to learn and complete the OPTIONAL COURSES as they are beneficial in their professional development and enhance their career-readiness.
