Applied Science Project Work
We decided to choose an approach to support and challenge the students. Therefore, a Kick-Off Meeting will be on Monday followed by a mid-term presentation. Finally, the demonstrators are presented on Friday.
Support
Besides the mandatory meetings and presentations, the iot-hackathon chairs and co-chairs including the local organization team will be around from late morning until late afternoon. The time in-between can be used by the students to develop their demonstrators.
