Challenge@PoliTo_by Firms is an innovative teaching activity carried at the Politecnico di Torino. It is an integral part of PoliTo's strategy to promote innovative education and entrepreneurial culture.
These activities are organized with external firms that provide a "challenge" coming from their real business. During the experience, 30 master students divided in teams, work, compete and develop their solutions.
The Challenges are carried out as an experimental educational laboratory: the CLIK - Connection Lab & Innovation Kitchen, or similar space. During the challenge phase at the CLIK lab, students can experiment and practice what they have learned during their lectures in an informal and multidisciplinary environment that promotes the spirit of creativity and collaboration.
Challenge@PoliTo_By Firms – “Students from the future”
The new technologies, jobs, lifestyles, which have established themselves in particular in the last decade, require a new approach to the learning and educational system, which instead has remained unchanged despite the great social and economic evolutions. Everything is now “digital” and we have access to information through our mobile devices any time we want.
This means that students, teachers and institutions need to rethink and imagine new and alternative education models and experience, capable of creating a continuous learning path that is as personalized as possible with respect to the needs of individual students, inclusive and attentive to the impact of innovation for the new generations.
Now is the time not only to dream but to start building the alternative you want with an open mind and loads of creativity.
The purpose of the challenge is to map the education system and rethink it, imagining new ways through which students can experience learning and personal development. Suggested solutions need to have a digital component that makes it easier to build and scale and become a new startup.
The analysis can involve:
• How can the “one size fits all” approach to education be transcended, moving forward from a fixed and standard way of teaching that involves mainly a passive audience and leaves no space for participation.
• Introduction of new ways of learning and developing critical thinking and the right mix of skills.
• Approach to information (quality, relevance, usefulness) and attitude of questioning and creative thinking.
• Development of a different and participative education system that can evolve with the attitudes, ambitions and objectives of each student.
• Focus on skills and knowledge required to enter the work market and that often students are requested to learn by themselves because are not part of the education system.
• Understand how corporates and employers look at new ways of education and are ready to accept them.

The main goal is to involve students in learning initiatives capable of bridging the gap between the theory taught by the University and the skills required to work in a team by companies.
Multidisciplinary Teams: Collaborate in a complex and multidisciplinary context.
Information research: Retrieval, Data collection and Utilization of information to support teamwork activities.
Hard Skills: Put into practice what they have learnt during their lectures in order to resolve a real problem coming from partner firms.
Soft Skills: Teamwork under conditions close to the ones of a real business environment, self-assessment and work organization.
At the end of this activity, students will be readier to work in a multidisciplinary team, a skill required by companies. They will be able to analyze industrial problems having a more comprehensive view of technical and market issues.

The Challenge is open to every master students of Politecnico di Torino. There are not necessary some specific competence to participate.
The students, to apply on this activity, have to upload:
● Covering Letter in English: self-presentation and motivations of interest in the presented challenge;
● Curriculum Vitae.
The selection of the students will be based on Cover Letter, CV and multidisciplinary require by the Challenge.

The Challenges last 14 weeks; they start on the 27th September 2021 and end on the 15th January 2022. During this specific Challenge, the students have to work in multidisciplinary teams supported by a group of tutors, coming from PoliTo and partner Firm, with complementary backgrounds and competencies, under the lead of Professor Laura Farinetti.
Every team will self-organize its own working time and methodology. But, it will have to spend about 1,5 hours/week, supported by mentors, in the CLIK Lab, similar space or in remote (clarifications will be provided), in addition to the joint alignment meetings (specified subsequently).
During next academic year (21/22), according to the Rector guideline, Politecnico is going to deliver in-person classes in line with the national vaccine campaign that should allow a serene and flexible return to our classrooms.
However, in order to guarantee the sustainability of a safe teaching reorganization, a limited amount of activities may be held remotely.
For instance:
• Weekly meetings team-mentor (1,5h/week): they could be provided remotely if there are not specific needs to meet in person.
• Alignment meetings: they will be provided in person, but they can also be provided online for students under specific conditions and expressly authorized.
In the event of travel limitations imposed by the government, international students will have the opportunity to attend online-live classes.
