8. 6. Continued…I really enjoyed hearing from the other group that did the same challenge. The scope of the challenge was such that they were able to look at a completely different problem and take a really unique, interesting approach. Getting some insight into a real problem that (the industry partner) are actively searching for a solution toI think events like this aid people like me to refine and develop skills that are crucial to working in a team/presenting/pitching etc. I feel as through the event did exactly as anticipated in focusing on these skills and allowed me to meet people working in similar domains that I would have otherwise not had the chance to meet.
