Overview
The IP project approval meeting is the first milestone of the semester in which students have to demonstrate their understandings of the projects and roughly planning on each step they are going to take to complete the project. The goal of this meeting is to provide the ownership of the projects to students since they need to, not only understand the projects from the team coaches’ perspectives but also understand and articulate the project from their own perspectives. For this meeting, students had to figure out an intact and persuasive project plan and present it to the judges. Meanwhile, the SDG forum invited 16 judges to evaluate and give feedback to students’ presentations, and all of them are experienced in the IP related field.
