Students were placed on teams and given a predetermined innovation seedproject that was based on a university related problem. They developed hypotheses of designsolutions, made a test plan, got out of the building to test their hypothesis with customers andstakeholders, and iterated until they validated (or invalidated) their solutions. Along the way,they learned about value propositions, product-market-fit, the scientific method, customer-centricdesign, and teamwork.Just as the first year
