In one week after signing a contract and joining the eClub, the student has to produce an essay. The essay will be submitted along with a link to your picture. Before you really start to solve the project problems we will suggest to get acquainted with technology and write a survey – discuss with your mentor. The project will be finished with a project report (discuss with mentor) and a final presentation (submitted on line). Students will be asked to present at a MediaLab Workshop.

It is a short document describing your project. The main purpose of the essay is to explain in common words what is the problem and why we need to solve it. It should also make clear who are the customers who will benefit from the solution. The essay should not be more than halve of the A4 page long. The text will be placed to the Projects section of the ESC web.

We will ask you to prepare a final project presentation. The presentation will be in a standard ESC format. The first page includes the name of the project and your name. The second page is an abstract very similar to an essay. It will be printed in the Medialab Workshop proceedings. It will summarize concisely your project and the achievements. Make it minimum 50 and maximum 100 words long. The next pages will go through the project in finer details. See the template with explanation.

Every week we will meet for a general assembly. Every student working in ESC will be shortly reporting about the project progress. The main reason of this meeting is to inform your peers about the progress of your project.

We expect you joining this event with short max 5 minutes report about your progress. No formal preparation required.
