MSC Cheers Design Challenge


 
MSC Cheers Design Challenge by EMRS Team 2
As this was our 1st event, we were nervous and also excited to plan and execute this event as event that involved many important people.
 
The event was held on the 15th of January 2014, at seminar room B204, from 1pm to 6pm. The purpose of this event is to create a design competition for students to stimulate innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. The winning team will get cash worth $3,000 and a trophy and they might also get their designs implemented in the new NYP Cheer store as well as the stores throughout Singapore. Prizes and certificates were also given to the participating and finalists teams to recognize their effort in participating this competition.
 
Planning

During the pre-planning stage, there were a lot of major work to be completed such as operations and logistics planning, liaising with participants and Cheers, and deciding on the event venue, floor plan and order of proceeding.
