The greatest expected result of each attendant is to acquire leadership and creativity skills will benefit them for life. Next will be technical results that might file a technical patent (intellectual property) or even start up a company. There are many creation contests and entrepreneurship contests held by organizations who want to find potential freshmen and good ideas. Applying our projects to these contests is also one of our goals. Please check our Workshop Syllabus.
