Halfway through April 2021, we received some good news, but who will ever forget the dark days of 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic hit us all with a gut punch?

People in businesses everywhere were isolated and struggling as the whole world seemed to be turned upside down. That's when a group of small business entrepreneurs in New Jersey started an innovative networking group called Relax Teams - where small business professionals huddle online, to interact and brainstorm new ways to deliver their unique value proposition, product, or service to new clients while still serving existing clients.

It also became painfully clear that college students, just beginning their lives as adults, were facing a unique and even more challenging subset of issues dealing with the first worldwide pandemic since 1918. 

Seeing the array of challenges that college kids everywhere were facing, Relax Teams jumped into action and huddled with students from one of America's most renowned and historic engineering schools, Stevens Institute of Technology. 

Together, they created an Engineering All-Star Team.

Relax, America. We've been knocked down but we are far from out. Our stadiums will once again be full. We will rise again. Our great cities will once again be crowded. 

What’s Next?

This school year was like no other. The pandemic may have kept students off campus but it did not stop these young minds from learning, developing, maturing, and most of all innovating.

A very special thank you to this year's all-stars of Relax Teams and the question now is: Who's up for next year's project? It will not only help businesses, but it will help students.

It will be a project for students by students. 

And we're accepting applications now.

What is this new project we're talking about for September 2021?

It's called Project Scholarship.
