What makes this program even more unique is the inclusion of field trips. These excursions allow participants to explore various sectors, including industries, universities, and agricultural farms. The destinations are selected based on the specific requirements of each team’s innovative idea. During these field trips, teams analyze the inner workings of the industries they visit. This hands-on experience provides a deeper understanding of the sectors and their impact on the community.
