More info about the Creathon ��Are you ready for a day full of challenges and innovative business? On the 14th and 15th of May you will work in a creathon together with companies within the Koolen Industries network on their challenges. So the theme for this event is: Energizing the Future!
In a creathon (a hackathon on creativity) you work in your team one day together on a challenge from a company to come up with an innovative business idea. For example, think of inventing new products or services. The yield of each team is a developed business idea, which you will pitch as a team to the challenge providers and a jury. Teams consist of 5 students. There will also be another group of 50 Advanced Technology students and 2 other groups.
To give you a good start at the Creathon there will be all kinds of workshops and inspirational sessions on the 14th of May in the afternoon. This will all take place on the campus of the University of Twente. �
