Innovation Days
Innovation Days is about how we humans are better at solving a problem if we help each other and look at the challenge from different perspectives. By mixing different skills and experiences, completely new ideas can arise. This is a two-day activity where you, together with other students, solve predefined challenges by using different creative tools. There are also a number of coaches to help you.
Who? You don't need any prior knowledge and regardless of what you study, you are welcome, everyone's experiences and skills are needed. The only thing required is that you are curious, like working in a team and are prepared to see new solutions.
