CRE8® – A competition in creativity
CRE8® is a fast-paced method for creative problem solving in competition. Three to four multidisciplinary student teams are testing their problem solving skills and pitching their solution to a jury. The assignment is sharp and collected from researchers, companies or the public sector. The purpose is to train the students to solve real problems and teamwork as a useful experience for a future working life.
The offer
Do you have a case that you think suits our students? One case should first and foremost be to develop innovative solutions. It is not about administrative tasks or simpler line work - this is about utilizing the students' creative ability. A good case is clearly described, but leaves great freedom to find solutions. An overly detailed case can hamper creativity, and too foolish makes it difficult to formulate a problem. We help you develop the case description to find a good balance.Main purpose
- Are you looking for innovative solutions and want to use the students' creative skills?
- Do you like an employer want to know more about how to become a contractor to Sweden's funniest innovation competition?
