The jury selects the three best projects whose teams receive financial prizes and will represent TalTech at the EuroTeQaThon** between EuroTeQ partner universities. It will be held for the third time and this time at the Czech Technical University in Prague on the 10th-12th of June. Course in which students do projects and solve challenges have joined EuroTeQ Collider.
The main goal of the event is to make visible the results of a problem- and project-based learning both from the point of view of the students, the teachers, research groups and companies - these are practical examples where the cooperation of different parties has made it possible to bring together real-life problems, science, entrepreneurship, various fields - in order to create a path for innovation and encourage more to take such a hands-on approach. And, of course, sustainability is the overarching theme.
