✅ 22.06.2019 - 23.08.2019: Elaboration Phase
Following the training, you will, based on a concrete mission, develop your approach to a more complex and detailed solution. Since some of you are in the exam phase during this period, this period is deliberately long, giving you enough time to develop an innovative solution until the 25th of August.
