How it works?
Pitch your Idea, on the first day of the event
Our corporate partners challenge you to respond to their problem statements. On the first evening, you are invited to pitch your idea. Grab the mic and tell us how you will solve the problem. You have 1 minute to convince potential team members to join you and impress the company.
Find your Team
After pitching your idea, we'll get into teams. If you did not pitch your idea, select witch idea excites you most and join them.
Every team needs to have an engineer, a designer and someone from business. The name tag colors will tell you in which disciplines others are. This is your opportunity to work with new people that bring unique skills to your team.
Work on the Solution
Within your team, you will elaborate your idea within the next 48 hours. Set up your space, talk to potential customers and consult with company representatives and mentors to make your idea happen. Remember you need to make your idea concrete. Less talking, more doing.
Present your Prototype
On Friday evening after 48 hours, you will present your prototype to the jury. The jury consists of the corporate partners. The best idea of each category wins prize money and after the presentations we want you to talk with the companies to discuss how you'll move forward with your project.
