'''Our Challenge'''
How to create a graduation for over 600 students?
'''Our problem'''
In Uruguay, when people graduate from their degree, their families and friends celebrate in a particular way: making "Huevadas". The Huevadas consist on throwing ingredients such as flour, eggs, wine or even oil at the university gate or nearby. This event is a tradition in this country.
The problem this year is that, form now on, the new UCU plan enable about 600 Huevadas at the same time, due to the fact that over 600 students will be graduating the same day near the university.
'''Our solution'''
Our proposal involves creating a Graduation Festival in Parque Battle. It is an event where 'huevadas' are allowed in a controlled way, even offering food close to expiration. This idea includes setting up stands for Eco-Huevadas Kits, food trucks, a DJ and portable restrooms. The goal is to avoid uncontrolled messes, prevent wasting edible food, and create a new tradition from the university.
'''Step by step for students'''
The university staff sets up the space to welcome the students.
Families and friends wait for them at Parque Batlle, while buying the Eco-Huevada kits.
The students arrive.
The "Huevadas" take place, accompanied by music, food trucks, and a DJ.
The event ends.
The cleaning company arrives and provides their services.
'''Benefits'''
The benefit involves creating a new tradition for the university that sets it apart from others. In turn, it establishes a tradition for the coming years. Finally, the ultimate benefit is to create a more sustainable festivity.
