AIT 2021

AIT features the SpInnovation project, a cooperation between the two institutes ISDS and IIM. The goal is to gain experience in prototype development with interesting new technologies (e.g. IoT, VRAR, smart hw, maker movement, blockchain,..) combined with idea-finding processes, maker-movement know-how, and entrepreneurial insights. Workshops on the topics are part of this course.

The project duration is 8 weeks. The project is organized in 3 phases. Each phases ends with a Gate meeting, where defined requirements have to be met before the group can continue proceeding into the next phase.

• Problem analysis: 2 weeks; participants should learn to understand the task
• Idea Generation: 3 weeks; independent brainstorming and ideation by students
• Prototyping: 3 weeks; realization of the best 1-2 ideas
