Leaders of Tomorrow 2018 workshop and competition


Where and when? E117, Tuesday afternoon February 20th from 4-7pm.
What is the objective? This workshop aims at getting students beyond the pre-idea stage, to help them create that “Oh yeah, that could be something great” moment.
What is it? An inclusive entrepreneurial workshop using Accenture's in-house design thinking and ideation methods.


Each year the <https://www.accenture.com/ie-en/Careers/leaders-of-tomorrow-award> Leaders of Tomorrow competition helps students become successful entrepreneurs.
This year we’re taking it one step further. We want to help all Leaders of Tomorrow 2018 applicants find that big idea* and help turn it into a reality. So what are you passionate about? How can you make a difference?
Aimed at all third level students of technology, design, business, and engineering, there will be a series of competition challenges and workshops to participate in, that will lead to a winning idea selected by a panel of esteemed judges.
We will be on campus on Tuesday, 20/02/2018 in room E117 to introduce you to the competition in the form of a design sprint. Students can work in groups of 5 where we will go from the bare bones of an idea to prototype in 2 hours. If you would like to apply, please follow the link below.
There will be a cash prize of €500 on the day for the winning team.
The overall Leaders of Tomorrow 2018 winner will also receive a cash prize** to help get their business up and running, as well as guidance and mentorship from industry experts every step of the way.
