One of the goals of the event was to attractstudents who had not previously participated in a make-a-thon or hack-a-thon and were notinterested in starting a business and expose these students to design activities. I accomplishedthis goal: 87% of participants were attending this type of event for the first time, and only 10%of the participants planned to start a business after graduation. Most of the students attended theevent because they were interested in the topic (87%), wanted to practice design (57%), and/orwanted to collaborate with others (70
