MCQ is not a standard business contest. It is a new infrastructure for innovation that leverages web3 and DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) mechanics to support students' pure inquiries. Adults are there to provide full-hearted support, not to judge based on school grades.
Key features include:
- Adults acting as 'fans' and supporters rather than judges.
- The goal being 'real-world implementation' rather than just a presentation.
- Visualizing the process of 'failure' and 'conflict' as valuable parts of the narrative.
Participating companies and local entities aim to co-create and generate new value by engaging with students' sharp perspectives rather than merely providing one-way educational support.
