MHA Labs Naming
In the fall of 2012, fifteen Chicago high school students from Mikva Challenge’s Education Council participated in a design lab to prototype 21st century skill-building products. Over the course of their innovation process, they inadvertently created a brand that could inspire a skill-building movement. They effortlessly filtered through policy and academic skill jargon to simplify the framework to “HOW HUMANS ACHIEVE”. We are grateful for their clarity and inspiration.
