But where it make Start Garden mostly focuses on helping start-up in opportunities there is also a disconnect between many of the students. As many of them do not know the people around them companies get on their feet and just live in their own worldget ready to take off. This Our goal is where the Sequence Collaboration or Syncquence would come into play. In the program there are a select few classes named sequences which are usually taken during the freshman year. The idea of this project would be to pair up the sequences having them compete over the span of a week working reach out to solve a given problem that is assigned at the beginning. The goal for this project would be to have students company and get to know each other in touch with different businessmen and make connections while they are learning about the innovation process businesswomen. These people could potentially act as they work to solve the problem assigned. At the end of the project we would host a large event where mentors and help the students would select some group members to present their project to their fellow classmates and SPI club take important strides towards creating a few judges who would hand out prizes to the top three competitors. Hopefully in the end it would be able to fulfill the desired goals that were stated before and with the feedback that has been received so far about the program it looks like completing the goals will not be an issuesuccessful product. </span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"> </span>
