meeting- IAS EXECUTIVE BOARD 11/10/2024

TOPICS:

a brainstorming session focused on the bootcamp

✏️ Notes and Decisions:

  • We didn’t want to go too deep into the hackathon topic since it’s up to the
    committee. But Nour and Iyed shared some good suggestions.
    We should think outside the box and avoid choosing the same overused ideas like
    renewable energy and green initiatives.
    If there are many teams, we should do a preselection for the pitches. otherwise, all
    teams will end up pitching
    During the hackathon, we can’t hold workshops because no one will be focused or
    interested ,they’ll be too busy working on their projects.

 

  • We should bring in mentors to assist the participants during the hackathon. It
    would be beneficial to have someone conduct an online info session and remain
    available throughout the event so that participants can ask questions. However,
    since no mentor can stay on-site for 24 hours, we could schedule them to be
    present for 2 to 3 hours to provide guidance.
    We should collaborate with industry partners who are relevant to our problem
    domain.

 

  • We could consider organizing an industrial visit during the hackathon. This would
    provide participants with valuable insights into real-world applications and
    practices related to their projects.
    We can’t bring all the participants to the visit, we should choose one person per
    team to attend.
    Before the visit, the industry could host a digital tour where they showcase all
    departments, discuss relevant issues, and explain how each machine works. This
    would ensure that participants who do not attend the physical visit still receive
    equal and fair access to the information.
    One of the industry representatives can assist us during the digital tour to explain
    the processes and answer questions from participants.
    After selecting the project manager and program manager, we should schedule a
    meeting with them to share our vision for the bootcamp.
    After our discussion, they should select their own committee and begin their
    work.

 

  • We should begin the interviews 1 to 2 days after closing the application form.
    Update for the workshops: HLC TECH will conduct a workshop on VR
    simulation,the number of attendees will be limited and we should look for VR
    headsets.
