STUDENTS meet PRACTICE

This competition allows students to be involved in shaping the final design and to work with product and technology suppliers from design to implementation, giving them practical experience and bridging academia with practice, connecting students with professionals.

Individual manufacturing processes and on-site assembly will be shared through our social channels throughout the project.
