"The WHT Enterprise Challenge is an opportunity for Scholars to put their skills to work to make a positive change in the world."

Minah Faiz (cohort 2019-20) and Upamanyu Ghose were set in submitting a project that addressed mental health. ​maybe were  - intent on submitting a project that addressed mental health (do you know why?)

Light therapy aims to treat seasonal major depressive disorders associated with the lack of exposure to sunlight. Solis addressed the issue of making light therapy accessible. 

Solis was designed to be a "smartphone application that could track light therapy sessions using the phone’s sensors and provide actionable advice to the users that would help improve their mood and mental health. The objective was to make it agnostic of the light therapy lamp being used so it could be one solution that fits all."
