Curious to see what happened last evening, while Christian and I went networking at the Sponsors’ Evening. And no surprise: our youngest team members — can you believe the youngest is only 17 years old?! — had found a brilliantly simple solution.

This morning, as I arrived at the fairgrounds, I spotted a group of students doing Pilates under the palm trees — a brilliant way to start the day! I think I might join them tomorrow.

The second day kicked off with a coffee and standup meeting in the entry court. All the teams went back to their tables, some teams diving straight into prototyping. Our “software – team” continued refining their setups from yesterday and installing the software on their system. However, the day quickly turned into a true test of problem-solving skills, pushing our team to think creatively and adapt on the fly.
