You will be divided in three teams made of four students, two in the economy field and two in engineering.

At first, the teams will be tasked with three different roles : communication (creating content and advertising), organization (making schedules and plans) and media (handling the website you are on).

After recruiting start-ups, each team will be charged to meet the start-up they are teamed with, including making a DESK and FIELD research, then presenting the start-ups the results you made after a design sprint.
