Content
Creativity is a skill that requires work and discipline. This course allows students to meet entrepreneurs from the region. This course also allows them to discover creativity tools and techniques in order to identify, collectively, an innovative idea of a mechatronic product that could lead to the creation of a company thereafter. The aim is to make students aware of entrepreneurship. Supervised by entrepreneurs from the region, the module is structured around 3 highlights: 1. Divergent phase of creativity in which students produce many ideas, 2. Convergent phase of creativity in which students select the most innovative idea in order to detail it and investigate its potential, 3. Phase of publication, communication and pitch of the chosen idea in front of a jury in order to test the concept and convince fictitious investors.
