Last Friday, we welcomed our students to an onboarding session for PLP Entrepreneurship Startup Immersion Project (SIP) at Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

SIP is a 4-weeks immersion project with a local startup. Students will work on a real-world business challenge in a small team. The team will research, ideate, and design a viable business solution to the business challenge and present a low fidelity prototype or mock-up to a panel for feedback and evaluation.

A total of 5 teams will be working on 5 different companies and their problem statements. Looking forward to see what the teams will come up with!
