Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</span></span></li>
