These projects had the concrete goals of envisioning, designing, and building simple software systems that can leverage ideas with high social impact.

The following projects were developed in a very agile way by a team of 5-6 students, working 8-10h a week within a timeframe of 12 weeks.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]This all occurred with the supervision of a MIEIC/LDSO teacher and culminated in a public event – a grand finale.

In the end, the teams delivered concrete systems at least with the maturity of a fully functional prototype, or more, depending on the project’s scope and technical specificities.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” padding_top=”58″ padding_bottom=”100″ css_animation=”” padding_left_right=”2″][vc_column]
