This is where the fun begins. Here we’ll distribute projects & form teams based on your preferences and skills. You are also presented with the final problem statement containing functional and non-functional requirements marking the official start of the practicum.
At this event you’ll be present a first iteration of the final result. Your project partner will then provide valuable feedback to you to make sure to you are on track.
The Demo Day is the final destination of our exciting journey. Here you’ll demo the final result to your project partner followed by a complete handover of the project - including an extensive documentation.
Participation in all of these events is mandatory!
