Aim: The students have to demonstrate their ability:
- to work creatively by finding a simple business idea based on needs, new configurations, new materials or new manufacturing technologies.
- to do systematic, project-oriented work by planning, accomplishing and documenting a technical, economic pilot study of that idea and assess the result.
