Demo Day
The Grand Finale of THINK. MAKE. START.
After two intensive and hard weeks of work, THINK. MAKE. START. comes to an end and 50 master students from different fields of study present their prototypes and present their concepts to a jury of investors and professionals.
The Demo Day is structured into three parts, beginning with the Pitches of the different teams. Afterwards, all Guests are invited to a fair, where all teams that presented their projects are presenting their products. This gives the visitors the chance to test out the prototypes. At the registration, each Guest will be given three Dollars, that he/she can invest in projects at the fair. Each team will be given a Box to collect those Dollars. After the fair is over, the jury will collect all the Money Boxes and count the Money and take those results into consideration when choosing the three Winners.
