PS 6 — Open Innovation. Problem Statement - Not every useful problem can be defined in advance. In this track, teams are free to identify and solve a real problem related to our university or a practical everyday-life problem. The problem can be related to students, faculty, clubs, campus services, administration, or any realistic day-to-day situation. The focus should be on identifying a genuine problem and building a practical technology-based solution for it.
