Volunteers from Salesforce HQ coached high school students from three schools in a business case challenge competition hosted by SuitUp. The students were tasked with creating an innovative feature for Zoom to enhance remote learning. Team 2's "Zoom Ultra" proposal won. Surveys found that the competition increased students' confidence in obtaining career skills and all volunteers wished to participate again. Most students expressed new interest in careers like business, marketing, and STEM that were represented by the Salesforce volunteers.
