Solutions Studio

Here's how it works:

1

A panel of students is selected.

2

The students develop challenge questions for the candidates

3

The challenge questions are sent to each candidate days in advance - eliminating “gotcha” moments - allowing them time to prepare a solution for each challenge.

4

Experts in the fields of challenges are recruited to do a one hour briefing with the student panel to assist them with their follow up questions.

5

In the studio each candidate appears one at a time and is given up to three minutes per challenge to present a solution.

6

The student panel asks follow up questions after each solution presentation for 10-15 minutes.

7

A moderator keeps the candidates and panel on time so that each Solution Studio lasts for 60 minutes including opening, introductions, reading each question and the closing.

8

Media partners broadcast or stream the Solution Studio to their audiences

We created seven

Solution Studios in partnership with the Institute for Public Service at Metropolitan State University of Denver , home to Colorado’s largest and most diverse student body. MSU Denver students created this video that contrasts Solution Studio forums they produced with the 2023 Presidential debates.

In 2022 and 2023 New Voice Strategies partnered with the Institute for Public Service at MSU Denver, the League of Women Voters of Colorado, League of Women Voters of Denver and CLLARO (Colorado Latino Leadership Advocacy and Research Organization) to host Solution Studios with all of the major candidates for U.S. Senate and Governor of Colorado, the Denver Mayoral Runoff candidates and with Attorney General Phil Weiser
