LoopMe and students from Hansberry College Prep participated in a business case challenge organized by SuitUp. Students were divided into teams and coached by LoopMe volunteers to develop marketing plans for Coca-Cola or Epic Games. One team's plan was for an "AHA Energy" drink. Surveys found the event increased students' career confidence and interest in fields like marketing, business and technology. Volunteers also felt it helped encourage careers in their industries. Both students and volunteers wanted to participate in similar events again through SuitUp's skills-based volunteering programs.
