The jury selects the 3 best projects in 3 sub-categories of the EuroTeQ Collider main theme "Enhance Connections for Sustainable Futures". Those teams can go to represent TalTech at EuroTeQaThon*, which takes place on the 8th-10th of June, already fourth time and this time in École Polytechnique in Paris.
The main goal of the event is to make more visible the results of problem-and project-based learning from the perspective of students, teachers, research groups and companies – these are practical examples where the cooperation of different parties has made it possible to reconcile real-life problems, science-based, entrepreneurial competences – in order to create a path to innovation and encourage more to contribute to co-creation. Come and take part!
The event is in English.
