During that period, they prototyped the solutions they had designed during theremote time. To facilitate the process, professors from each university accompanied the teams duringthe travel.

Several aspects of the bootcamp are unique, and we would like to share the keylearnings. They include: 1) The application process, which was based on non-cognitivevariables. No grades were required.

In fact, in the first semester that more open-ended projects were introduced, the beststudent in the class was a young man with just a 2.6 GPA, well below the average in his class.A common characteristic describing the most successful students began to emerge. They were all studentswho would describe themselves as creative. These students seemed to have a strong excitement for
