What's a creathon?

A creathon is an event where students are solving business cases in the domain of Internet of Things, mobile & cloud. There are several stages in the workhops: preparation - forming student teams - learning the problem statement - defining the problem - searching solutions (ideation & creativity) - come up with a solution - present proof of concept (business model, prototype)

Here is an example of a problem statement for a student creathon.
