‘It was really rewarding – to meet people from different backgrounds and countries, who brought their unique skills and ideas to the table to create exciting concepts that could be then used in real life to make real improvements.’
‘I gained practical knowledge, talked to experts, and met a lot of great people. That’s also how I got my current job offer – skills acquired while solving the challenge helped a lot.’
‘ECIU University challenges not only help tackle problems and find answers to them but also allow us to come up with applicable solutions. They prepare students for real-life projects.’
